What will the human species look like in 100,000 years? An artist partnered with a computational geneticist to extrapolate past physical changes into the future. Above, typical man and woman now. Below, same thing 100,000 years from now. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but clearly they didn’t consider political effects. Realistically, given the way Obama is taking the nation, the second picture should have bar codes on foreheads and metal shock collars around their necks.

What I find most amazing is that someone actually got paid to do this.
Paid? Oh, yeah, JP scale. ;)
Hey, I never had one complaint from DRB about her salary.
Yeah, I remember you doubling the salary and giving a 150% bonus once.
See?
So... the world will become an anime world? :-/
So we are all going to look like tweaked out meth heads? So glad I'll be dead!

Check out Crowley´s new form.
Check out Rob Ager's film analysis of The Thing.

100,000 years from now the human race will have been replaced by some form of insect. Sooner or later a virus of some sort will wipe us out, if we don't nuke ourselves first.

Rather, some humans decides to become this within 100 years, the transhuman era have already begun.
Those ***nuggets have been watching way too much anime.
An artist paired with a computational genetifickingwhatiscist? Come on, I can do the same to any photo using the bloat tool in Photoshop! Another reason not to get your news from Yahoo.
Seems to me thre would be more that just enlarged eyeballs. Like no limbs because we never use them, giant mouths the better to eat synthetic foods, less gender specific differences. THese are all wrong
By these futuristic pictures we can determine that crack and marajuana will still be widely available. The big eyes will evolve not doubt to permit future commie masses to watch MSNBC, ABC, CNN, and CBS all at once.
Or to better watch their gold so Corporate Greed doesn't steal it again.
Shadow Holders Use The SPACE To Help Every SPACE Finder Understand Clueless Kinetic SPACE Understanding Puzzles PERIOD
Their eyes are that big because they just saw how much debt Obama left them.
You never know, maybe Corporate Greed was made to give the gold back they stole by then...

This is moot. Global Warming will kill us all in the next 100 years or less. Just ask Al Gore.
Even sooner! Global warming is going to kill us 5 years ago! It's a fact!
No way RKae! Globull cooling killed us 13 years ago, according to science in the 1970's anyway.
Riiiiight, and since it's 100,000 years in the future the geneticists will never be disproven. Reminds of that cable show about futuristic animals like bioluminescent sharks. Again, riiiight. Sharks have been here for 300 million years but they are going to magically glow in a million or so more years.
