I was surfing through the science forums and I came across an interesting question.
The question was, what do you think the human race will be like a billion years from now (Assuming our species has survived that long) what do you think evolutionary effect will have on the human race in the deep future?
Now, a billion years is a mind boggling amount of time and to my mind, humanity would have diversified to such an extent that it would be unrecognisable to the average Joe or Joanne of today.
Also, we would no doubt have spread throughout a huge portion of the Galaxy and evolution would have taken the original species, i.e. us, down so many different routes that we would effectively be alien to each other.
