A new article published at "The Sun" a famous daily English newspaper described how human will look like in the year 3000 according to opinions of Human Anatomy experts , according to the photo they drew I wish this will not happen but i will let you read their prediction. "EVOLUTION has changed our bodies and faces over thousands of years — and it’s still happening. Here’s how leading anatomical experts predict our descendants will differ physically from us in 1,000 years from now. - We’ll be TALLER at 6-7ft because of improved nutrition and medical science. Osteopath Garry Trainer, from north London, says: “The average American is about one inch taller than in 1960.” - Our INTESTINES will get shorter so we don’t absorb as much fat and sugar — a natural way of avoiding obesity, says dentist Dr Philip Stemmer. - If male fertility declines further, there will be SMALLER TESTICLES (tough luck, chaps). - Our most used extremities will change dramatically. ARMS AND FINGERS get longer to reduce the need to reach too far and nerve endings in hands and fingers will increase because of the greater use of devices such as iPhones that need complex eye-hand coordination. - We’ll have SMALLER BRAINS, maybe because so much memorising and thinking is done by our computers. “Science fiction images show humans of the future with huge brains but big brains are not necessarily the best,” says Chris Stringer, from the Natural History Museum. - There will be LARGE EYES to compensate for smaller mouths. Cary Cooper, of Lancaster University, explains: “Communication will rely on facial expressions and eye movements.” - Dentist Dr Stemmer also thinks there could be FEWER TEETH as softer food needs less chewing and biting. He says: “We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future, which could mean less teeth and receded jaws.” - Expect people to have QUADRUPLE CHINS. “Our bodies were designed for eating less and using more energy than a modern lifestyle requires,” says Rajiv Grover, a consultant plastic surgeon. We can expect other dramatic changes too. - Everyone will have the same shape of NOSE because climate is having less influence on broad or narrow hooters thanks to air conditioning and central heating. - Central heating and warm clothing means we’ll be LESS HAIRY but there’ll be more WRINKLES as a result of peering at our electronic devices. We could end up with saggy turkey necks too because extra sun will cause loose skin and baggy eyelids. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races mix." Source
Well I dunno why experts predicted this!!! Because evolution happens with natural selection"this what charles Darwin said" and I agree with him, so how the hell can iphone usage cause natural selection! . In addition, changes in the phenotype because of the environment are not transmitted from parent to son unless there is a change in genotype, and iphones and other machines don't change our genotype! And there is no natural selection! I think humans wilk have larger brains since we are in the era of science, and humans with larger brains"smarter" will be naturally selected from others
I don't think genes change with life styles...well not that much may be......and there could be other factors in the future that might result in us,abandoning this present way of life.

T you all are wrong, see basics first, in future humans will be much shorter than now, and brain development increases, you said more medication is available but rate of developing the number of diseases and viruses increases and you said we will get long fingers due to our usage of iPhone........ But it is wrong, have you ever think or remember that the girls even though we make holes in ears for ear rings the children born are with out holes and so many examples are there and there is a theory on that, don't you remember?
somebody is ignoring the effect of cinetic in shaping the body and the stress of the cardiovascular system...allowing some epigenetic phenomena... your prediction is false...(maybe this guy has one more chromosome: 47).
The Sun is utter trash (and thankfully no longer published) and anything written in it should be ignored. As correctly pointed out above the 'science' behind this is utterly flawed as only evolution/ natural selection changes appearance over time e.g. Yes we use devices more and using these devices is easier with longer fingers, however people with short fingers aren't selected out because it's marginally more difficult. Utter garbage.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of evolution will see this is complete and utter bullshit... How is there negative selection of people having difficulty using small touch based devices? Do they die before being able to mate because of this? Are they very unattractive to the opposite sex because of this? Please remove this bullshit.
