The effect technology may have on future human evolution can be determined via analysis of various developmental and technological factors. Uncovering the possibilities of potential further evolution requires a familiarisation with Darwinian development and the purpose for its occurrence. A reflection of current and past technologies and their subsequent repercussions on society also assist in defining the specific impacts on future humans. In order predict the essence of mankind in coming years, a realistic idea of future technology must be expected, taking into account technology currently being developed, which soon, may be utilised everyday. In addition, the transhumanist movement must be taken into consideration as humans persist in combining themselves with technology.
According to the theory of evolution, founded by Charles Darwin, humans are merely the progressed descendants of apes. During the extensive course of which such primitive creatures evolved into the homosapien species, there were various physical changes occurring. Included was the advanced posture where humans began to stand upright, on two legs as opposed to their former crouching position where they would stride on all fours. Other transformations include the observable …show more content…
The Oxford Dictionary defines transhumanism as, “The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology.” The concept of transhuman existence comprises of three areas; super longevity, super intelligence and super wellbeing. In reality, human intelligence and the human lifespan has already increased dramatically due to advances in technology, with some humans now living to over one hundred years of age. It is more than acceptable to reason that, due to these facts, many people are already
