• There was a time when our ancestors lived in caves, climbed trees, and ate fruits and raw vegetables. Over hundreds of years, they gradually started walking on the ground and ate whatever they could find. Eventually, they crafted tools from stones and began hunting, leading them to eat meat as well. Following the discovery of fire, they started cooking the meat. Thousands of years passed, and time continued to change, leading our ancestors out of caves and into becoming civilized. Now we are Homo sapiens, the modern humans of today. However, today we look very different from how our ancestors looked thousands of years ago. There have been significant changes in understanding and intellectual thought. We humans today are the result of millions of years of evolution and development, and this evolution will continue indefinitely.
Even today, we are continuously going through phases of evolution, and it will persist in the future because mutations occur in all living organisms. However, how might this evolutionary process affect us in the coming thousands or few thousand years? How much can it change us? Early humans lived in caves with a limited world, only concerned with food and reproduction. But today, humans live in cities, build large buildings, use smartphones, and play video games.
The question now is: what could humans do in the future? What is their limit? What does the future hold for humans? Could it be possible that one day we may appear like supernatural beings or characters from a computer? Based on the evolutionary changes over time, what will we look like in the future? How long will we live? What will be our intellectual evolution? What will our body, face, and eyes look like? Let's try to envision what humans might look like after a thousand years or what characteristics they might have, which you might never have imagined.

  • If we talk about ancient times, humans used to hunt and eat raw meat, so their teeth were very large and sharp. However, after the discovery of fire, our eating habits changed, resulting in evolutionary changes in our jaws and teeth. Today, our teeth are smaller and less sharp than they were back then, and in the coming thousand years, it is likely that our teeth will become even smaller.

  • In today's world, global warming is increasing, and the Earth's ozone layer is under significant threat, causing direct exposure to the sun's rays. These activities are gradually happening, so our evolution is also adapting accordingly, and more changes will occur in the human body. A thousand years from now, it is likely that the Earth's temperature will rise, and the continuous increase in ultraviolet rays from the sun will directly hit the Earth's surface. As a result, our skin will evolve, becoming even darker to protect us from the harmful rays of the sun.

  • Talking about the future humans, they will be more intelligent than today but will also be taller and slimmer. For example, approximately 100 years ago, the average height of men in India was 5 feet 5 inches, and women were 5 feet. Today, the height of men has increased to 5 feet 8 inches and women to 5 feet 3 inches, and this will continue to grow gradually. It is possible that a thousand years from now, humans will live much longer than today. The mortality rate will significantly decrease, and humans will generally die of old age.

  • Today's era is the era of information. The amount of knowledge has increased over the years, and it is growing even more rapidly today. The human brain continuously absorbs this information, resulting in the growth of the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain located at the front. This growth has made the human brain the largest compared to other creatures concerning body size. The elephant's brain is very large but small compared to its body size, whereas the human brain is larger than any other creature concerning body size. This will continue to grow, so the size of our brain will increase in the future.

  • Talking about the replacement of human organs, it has become very common. If there is any defect in any body organ, there are facilities available to replace that organ. This will increase rapidly in the future, and many artificial small organs will be available to replace damaged human organs, making our bodies somewhat robotic. With the help of biological nanotechnology in the future, many changes can be made to the human body, making us much more powerful, possibly even becoming superhuman compared to today.

  • Elon Musk is saying that we will settle humans on Mars after 2030. Even if it doesn't happen so soon, it is widely accepted that within the next thousand years, humans will establish colonies on Mars, the Moon, and many other planets. Our physical and intellectual evolution will adapt according to the conditions of these planets.

  • About 100 years ago, the average human lifespan was between 45 and 47 years. At that time, medical science had not advanced enough to combat new diseases, and there were not as many vaccines available. However, today the average human lifespan has increased to 70 years. Many biologists and scientists believe that in the next hundred years, the average human lifespan will be around 130 years. Medical science is continually researching the human brain and body. Today, advanced technology is used to treat cancer and heart patients, and this will further develop in the future. Harvard University researcher George Church, who initiated the Human Genome Project in 1984, believes that in the next ten years, we might be able to reverse the aging process. Although we can do this today, it requires a lot of exercise and attention to diet. Many businessmen worldwide are investing billions of dollars in research to slow down or completely stop the aging process, figuring out how to reverse aging and if we can live longer or even become immortal.
