Future of Humanity

There is often a huge arrogance in humans, and that’s understandable, we have of course achieved things that animals aren’t even capable of dreaming . We have gone to the moon, created mile high skyscrapers and we have brutually stopped anything that could threaten our existence with deadly efficiency (vaccines for example). However, scientists say that humans will reach their optimum intelligence level in just 30 years. Then we may just realise that we aren’t as superior as we thought we were.

Given this 30 year rule it’s unlikely we will hurtle through space in a Starship Enterprise as half cyborgs in 500 years, it’s more probable that we will just evolve backwards.

So why won’t we all have flying trainers and be teleporting to work? The answer comes from that annoying brain of ours. Research suggests that the brain is unable to increase in size based on the fact that we would it would need more bloodflow (that would mean a bigger heart). Even if our heart did increase in size the brain would still stop evolving as the larger brain size would slow down our connections and messages. 

Unfortunately the above facts and other factors mean that we will be slipping into stupidtown, getting dumber and dumber forever. This will bring an unwelcome return to our primal instincts in a challenging future. The prospect of dwindling resources will bring in greed and therefore war, nuclear war. In addition, our reliance on drugs means our immune systems are already spiraling into a deadly decline, making us more vulnerable in a global epidemic.

It suddenly seems like we have go to do a lot of work in the next 30 years, because without genetic engineering, I would give our species another 1000 years to live. 

The last evidence of humans will be broken plastics, Mount Rushmore, Bronze statues, satellites and radioactive material. Maybe, some alien race will discover one of our last satellites, and look upon on Earth as a dying star, about to enter into a fresh, healthier new age.
