How The Human Face Might Look In 100K Years
We’ve come along way looks-wise from our homo sapien ancestors. Between 800,000 and 200,000 years ago, for instance, rapid changes in Earth climate coincided with a tripling in the size of the human brain and skull, leading to a flattening of the face. But how might the physiological features of human beings change in the future, especially as new, wearable technology like Google Glass change the way we use our bodies and faces?

In 20,000 years: Humans have a larger head with a forehead that is subtly too large. A future "communications lens" is represented by the yellow ring around their eyes. These lenses will be the 'Google Glass' of the future. Image credit: Nickolay Lamm
In 60,000 years: Human beings have even larger heads, larger eyes and pigmented skin. A pronounced superciliary arch makes for a darker area below eyebrows. Miniature bone-conduction devices may be implanted above the ear now to work with communications lenses. Image credit: Nickolay Lamm
In 100,000 years: The human face is proportioned to the 'golden ratio,' though it features unnervingly large eyes. There is green “eye shine” from the tapetum lucidum, and a more pronounced superciliary arch. A sideways blink of the reintroduced plica semilunaris seen in the light gray areas of the eyes, while miniature bone-conduction devices implanted above the ear work with the communications lenses on the eyes.

Eye don't believe it ..
oh come on suli, we will remain same as nowadays. :P
I don't wanna live after 100K !
definitely smaller but may be like mushroom. :)
what about the things down there ,, any information!!!
Bigger ,, smaller !? :O)
i dont think so... this is just researcher's imagination.... anyone's guess would be just as good..
THis is where the research grant go to... instead of renewable energy, cancer treatment... etc.. what a waste of money... a 12 year old could do this in a photoshop.. you dont need any sophisticated simulations for that
Who knows soniya? Maybe u could be alive to see big eyed creature!
I won't be alive uptil that period...:))
So not to worry...
Rizk r u sure it is his front or back ?
I saw this on yahoo yesterday , but how accurate this prediction is??
but hairs isnt tat important coz as most of the ladies says "Bald is Sexy"....so think if a person doesnt have nose and mouth...will it be called sexy ? :(
Sulie they will be more smarter with the technology advancement but I am not sure they will be intelligent as well.. as the more you use technology the more your brain rests in peace. Like if you use calculator much often..if someone asks you suddenly a simple calculation..you will look for a calculator.
However it will speed-up our activities.. will challenge our privacies.. but everything will look more liberal. :)
Nothing about their way of thinking
Tell me they will be smarter !!
i looked carefully, all i see is tat you have lost ur nose and your mouth...:(
Interesting extrapolation.
However this is too far into the realm of science fiction for us to know anything with any degree of certainty. It is fun to speculate though.
Height will also reduce..already we all are electronics addict but it will dominate us more than we could imagine..google glass is just a start.
Thelonius are you in tat 'some' list ? :)
Was thinking more Anime Rizks. :P
Hentaii ?
Cool. I always wanted to look like a Japanese cartoon.
