According to world leading anatomical experts, society is going to be seriously ugly in about 1000 years. At least we won’t have to deal with it.
Now, before we start, you might believe that some old guy with a big beard created the world 4000 years ago and if you do then good for you. However, you might instead believe in a little thing called evolution. Evolution has shaped us into the creatures we are today (just don't tell the creationists) and apparently it will continue to shape us into a bunch of hideous monsters over the next 1000 years.
Here’s some things we can look forward to... well, we’ll actually be dead by that stage, but it’s something our descendants can look forward to.
Height – mankind will be taller with an average height of 6 foot 7 inches.
Digestion – our intestines will get shorter which will help our descendants to avoid obesity.
Testicles – if male fertility continues to decline our descendants could be left with smaller balls. Yikes.
Brains – as we store so much information on computers these days our descendants could find themselves with smaller brains.
Hair – mankind may become less hairy as our bodies get used to wearing clothes constantly. Well, that could actually turn out to be a good thing.
Basically, we'll be massively tall, hairless, small brained (and balled) humans with tiny noses of mixed race.
There is an artist's rendition of what the human race might look like, but it’s so damn ugly we decided we better not show it.
Someone has to think of the children after all.
