will humans continue to evolve?

Nah, we aren't actually reproducing biological organisms and hence we don't experince evolution.

>>4934704
nope we're perfect we know all about science. our science is the complete truth. evolution is true. gravity is true. quantum mechanics is true.

>> No.4934724

Human evolution requires (1) random (2) genetic changes of (3) living humans, and (4) selection pressure.

(4) will exist for as long as humans do.

(2) will exist as long as humans are organic.

(1) will exist as long as humans are not genetically modifiable

(3) will exist as long as humans are not extinct.

All in all, I give human evolution less than two centuries/seven generations, which is way too little for significant change.

tl;dr no.

the only genetic pressure will be whatever genes are present in those who reproduce the most, as long as their children go on to reproduce themselves.

Cultural evolution effects the body because we adapt to cultural pressure. Sexual selection (buy into the media to get sex) (Reproduce) (Cycle)

We have no selective pressures other than for more intelligence where higher paying jobs require greater effort, discipline, and intelligence.

Also, no. You just need to learn how to be social and work on aesthetics. Surely someone with a superior brain and mind can be cunning and manipulative, to the point of possibly caring about hygiene and conformism for optimum solipsistic benefit?

don't try to change the meaning of words to fit your theory. the man was obviously highly intelligent, he revolutionized physics and our perception of gravity. He may have had problems in some areas, but he was highly intelligent in others. no person in highly intelligent in every aspect. Again, being intelligent has nothing to do with the ability to talk to women. Most of the ones who think themselves intelligent though, just failed socially and had more time to devote to studies. Perhaps you are one of those people.

When it comes to genetic variation, this seems to be the most likely scenario, especially since the first GMO babies were born a few months ago.
>>4935880
This is also very likely. There are even a few articles floating around where researchers are using high-intensity lasers to directly interface with neurons by effecting the chemical reactions taking place inside of them.

In addition to this I believe there may be more interest in human/animal chimerism. genetic manipulation may stop rejection of non-human cell colonies. This would not be the same as evolution, for the physical traits in the parent would
not be passed on to the offspring. I personally cannot wait to have my pitiful human musculature replaced with woven feline muscles.

I'm with this guy, humanity will most likely artificially engineer itself in no less than 300 years to better combat diseases, old age and to increase various desirable traits (intelligence, aesthetics, sociability etc...)
