What If Our Bodies Kept Evolving?

What will humans look like in 10,000 years? What about 1 million years from now? Will we look like this guy? Eh, probably not. But we'll definitely look different than we do now. What parts of our body would evolve? How long would evolving our bodies take? And who would win the survival of the fittest?

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

Where are we in hundreds of thousands of years.


And my mind just says: dead

I once had a weird dream that we are able to grow our bodies in anyway we want. Not like that one movie where they make clones and take their organs but actually growing it from yourself like moulting. I wanted to write it down because it was a very interesting concept for me but unfortunately I forgot most of the details.

What if “What if” came from the future and all his content is real and will happen in the future?

By the way it’s January 1, 2020 here in the Philippines. Happy New Year everyone 🎉🎉🎉

I remember this famous quote: _"Evolution is the only constant."_ I am not highly optimistic about the happenings in the world right now, but I just want to be able to enter a spectate mode and be able to see how the future unfolds 😳

"where might we be in 100, 000, 0000 years?"
me: "dead"

I still remember asking my mom about this. She always used to tell me that, probably, humanity will end up dying in some nuclear war or ecological catastrophe. So, What if, thanks for an alternative version of our future.

I suspect that with as much pollution as we live in, our bodies might evolve to deal with it . I remember reading about a fish that evolved to survive in a river that was carcinogenic .
