Thinking about human evolution future trends.

Mario Enrique La Riva Mlaga To forecast the future, I shall see the past. "Quechua say from ancient times" Human evolution tell us very non linear paths, even more it show us various dead end trails. Of course human evolution shows adaptations both environmental and social, but if we look backward our intelligence protagonist decreases as we go back in time. As a conclusion I get that in the future well see more human "steering wheel" in the paths evolution can take over us. This rationale is based in the ever increasing complexity of ways in the future, including those of human evolution. Millennia ago, hominids have been so diverse like distinct species can be. Some time ago hominids coexisted in near places (fights and competition may be aroused those times). If we look forward we can suspect (afraid?) in years to come, the rising of different kind of "humans" who will name us as their precursors but not as their ancestors. Extraterrestrial sources for changing human evolution.Extreme conditions because of gamma rays strokes can reach earth and impulse human kind to survive underground far of earths surface and subsequently modifying skin and breath capacity, even eyes sensitiveness could change. Almost the same could be possible if asteroids impact our planet. Alternate contamination for outer space could lead humans to develop various inmunoscheme against both exovirus and exobacteria, even worst in the case of macrocontact with other civilizations. Human diversification because of climate changes and food sources and environments.Alternate source of food, even famine can conduct evolution to produce deep distinctions between humans because of lack of some nutrients and over sourcing of other nutrients. Sustained contaminations both biological and chemical can conduct to develop resistance to some products and byproducts in different kind of human beings. Currently foreign people visit other countries try to eat local foods or even try to live in distinct climate of their normal or native habitats. For example in my country some people live up to 5000 meters above sea level and have no problem, but if people from other places go there, they suffer high altitude diseases. I know of places worldwide where people are adapted to live in very different climates some hot, some cold and so on. Every one of them has survived millennia with small but

ever growing physiological changes. Just let us image accumulative changes in millennia ahead. E.g. the developing of new filters both in kidney and blood and lung and liver. People of the future will survive due to improvements of our capacity for selfrepairing or even by means cancer cells "trained" as soldiers against mortal virus or bacteria. That does not mean that we will be immortals, but we will be a little bit hard to die. People in the future will change to eat things currently we do not consider as food. Even I can forecast a worst scenario, if we take in account that nature always increase diversity (May be because entropy increases, defining the arrow of time). Under those backgrounds we can suffer a diversification in post humanity, e.g. Posthuman1, Posthuman2 and so on. I would regret that foreseeable future should be that of fighting for surviving just between those post humans each other, even beyond multilinearity of our own evolution. For example: Post humans 1. Descendants from first interplanetary voyagers, developed in zero gravity environments and recycling foods and waters by entire generations. Features: Lack of muscular power, fragile bones. Digestive system oversimplified. Post humans 2. Descendants from first extraterrestrial colonies, developed for living in extreme environments universe wide. Features: Wide diversity depending on environmental requirements for specific planetary conditions. This channel of rationale could have sub categorizations because of the multiplicity of planets reached by our descendants or post byproducts (those who call us precursors not ancestors). Post humans 3. - Descendants from populations living in ultra polluted earths environments Features: Modified lungs to filter more complex aerosols and gases. Modified digestive systems to make profit of corresponding ultra polluted foods. Post humans 4... Descendants from populations living in high technology earths environments Features: Ultra fragile body systems, all of them needed from permanent assistance from gadgets and robots to survive. Post humans 5. - Descendants from populations undergoing extreme scarcity, out of the so called global economy. Features: Ultra resilient bodies, strength enough to eat almost anything, including woods, seeds, leaf flowers, bones, invertebrates and so on. Modified digestive

systems to process cellulose and other currently not eatable vegetables and fungi. Immune system hard enough to tolerate and cope with giardias, cholera, salmonella, etc. Finally a better scenario would be if we and our descendants and post humans, develop together both technological and social gadgets to let us interact freely and in peace.
