Evolution is a continous process. How are humans evolving and what will we be like in 10,000 years?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43689points) October 16th, 2010

Evolution is a continuous process that moves at a glacial pace whether we notice it or not. With advances in medicine, economics, and infrastructure there are no longer such strong “survival of the fittest” pressures. Diseases or conditions that used to kill off the weak or infirm are no longer doing so.

Is the Idiocracy Future i.e., dumbing down to the lowest levels, really what’s in store for us? Or will we evolve into something better than we are today? What will humans be like in 1000 or 10,000 years?
