Wir werden zu Aliens

Humans will have big heads (brains), spindly limbs (disuse), bald heads (in progress), and no wisdom teeth or little toes (vestigial)?
Some scientists have researched that in the future we humans will have bigger heads (bigger brains). It will take around a million years for us to adapt this 'gift'. So I'm sure many of us will not be around to see it. I'm guessing you have seen pictures of aliens, cartoons or photos. You may have noticed that what makes them look like aliens are their large heads. So may be in the future, we may become like out fat headed friend out there, i cant help imagining it could be humans visiting from the future... May be, but we will never know... Also some scientists believe that we may also evolve spindly limbs, bald heads, tiny toes and not grow any wisdom teeth. I've also heard it supposed that, given our current environmental behavior, our skin would be better adapted if it were thicker and hue less. It would deflect more infrared and other types of radiation and would also be more resistant against infection and cancer.
1,000,000 years from now, what will we humans be eating?
Primates have been termed "an order of omnivores," and in this we are super-primates. Would a chimp taken on a whirlwind restaurant tour warm up to our staggering array of cuisines, from seafood to beef to rice to cheese? Maybe. The chimp would certainly be capable of eating most of these. But the chimp wouldn't have access to them! Our technology for procuring, cutting, cooking, storing and transporting foods gives us control over our environment a chimp in the wild couldn't dream of. "So, what will we humans be eating in 1,000,000 years? Anything we want!"
Human behavior in 1,000,000
The village cats are leaving with their kittens, horses are stampeding, cows are breaking out of barns, rats are roaming the streets in broad daylight, birds are singing at the wrong time of day? This could happen in the future! Such behaviors have been reported for centuries as precursors to earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, says zoologist John Downer in "Super sense." The animals may sense electrical changes in the air as rocks are stressed. Birds and elephants may hear the low-frequency rumblings-- inaudible to humans--of a quake on the way; snakes, keen to surface vibrations, may feel the tiny pre-tremors. Dogs too have this sort of emergency ESP--extra- sensitive perception--and stories abound of their heroism in wresting their special people out of bed before an earthquake or tornado hits, says "Exploring" magazine. Untrained dogs have also been known to warn their epileptic masters of an imminent seizure, up to an hour in advance and by one tally of family members, with 97 percent accuracy!
