Humans may not change much if we don't tamper with our genetics or do
anything in regards to nanotechnology, but that is not likely to be the
case over the next few centuries - decades, in fact.
Look how much people want to change their appearances and abilities
now. Imagine when we can really improve our minds and bodies. I won't
say anything about downloading the mind because I have already heard
the arguments here and elsewhere, but you know people are and will
work on it and when that happens, bye bye natural biological evolution.
For some radical thinking in this area which tries hard to keep one foot
in known reality, check out this Web site:

If nothing else, it at least keeps one mind out of the usual paradigms on
the subject.
These scientists need to read more science fiction
