Evolution is an unbreakable law in the biological world, and for humans and other creatures, the main reason for their endless lives is to constantly adapt to the environment. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of biological evolution, one is genetic mutation, and the other is natural selection. Now it seems that mankind has reached a peak, that is to say, there is no way to make breakthroughs and advances. However, in fact, it is necessary to know that the earth environment is gradually changing, and mankind is also constantly adapting. One day in the future, it is likely that mankind will Evolve into other forms.
The world we live in now looks like Antai, but in fact it has also undergone many severe tests and hidden dangers. Human beings are also very weak compared to nature. Recently this year, due to human activities, the ecological environment has been severely damaged, the earth’s environment has deteriorated, coupled with the frequent occurrence of various emergencies, at this time mankind has to take another step forward. On the path of evolution, humans may lead evolution, while nature and genes may not play such prominent roles. Imagine how humans will evolve in 5000 years. There may be three ecological forms. See which one is most acceptable to you?
Cyborg
Nowadays, the development of electronic technology and artificial intelligence is very rapid. Based on the existing technology of human beings, it is possible that humans will evolve into a kind of semi-robot in the future. In our traditional impression, robots have many advantages. For example, they have ultra-high computing power, as well as data storage and exchange capabilities, and they seem to be slowly improving in power and other aspects. , And these are all urgently needed by mankind. If technology can continue to advance and these machines are upgraded, one day we humans may also evolve into cyborgs with wires in the picture.
There is such a man named Neil Harbison, who is the first officially recognized cyborg in the world. This is because he is born with color blindness, and the electrical antenna on his head is also directly buried in the skull, with an optical sensor at the front end, so some light or other things captured can be directly transmitted to the skull. In this case You can sense different colors! And the Neuralink company created by Elon Musk can use very fine threads to connect the computer to the relevant areas of the brain, and to a certain extent, the brain can control the human brain. After 5000 years, humans may also evolve into cyborgs with higher capabilities.
Nearly perfect carbon-based life
In fact, all living things on the earth exist in the form of carbon-based life. In fact, through a lot of research, we can see that from the genetic level, the differences between species do not seem to be that big. The modern theory of evolution believes that all life may have originated from the same ancestor named Luca. In the long evolutionary process of this kind of carbon-based life, due to genetic mutations and natural selection, today’s species diversity has been formed. And we all know that many creatures have abilities that humans don’t have. For example, lobsters can theoretically live forever, and geckos can grow back after their tails are docked. This is also because they have evolved special genes. If humans can edit and modify genes autonomously in the future, they may become almost perfect carbon-based life.
Super human
For the human brain, it can be said that it has infinite wisdom, while modern science believes that the brain exists objectively and can be researched and developed. If scientists can reach the limit of human brain and development, then humans may have super brains at this time. At some point in the future, if the computing power of quantum computers is gradually improved, some complex problems will be easily solved. If humans can also have such a powerful quantum computer, then it may transfer humanity at this time. Consciousness, humans may evolve into super humans at that time. Their consciousness can become a carrier, which can carry any consciousness, such as a virtual world and so on. In addition, super humans can complete the processing of massive amounts of information without being tired, and without having to eat or sleep. This kind of life is almost perfect.
The above are the three forms that humans may evolve into in the future. After 5000 years, what is the direction of human evolution, and what do you think the answer will be? Which one are you most looking forward to?
