...humans? I suppose that would depend on radical environmental shifts. The events would have to be pretty major, as humans have the ability to side-step natural selection via technology. It would need to be a situation in which certain genetic traits are selected for by nature.So, in the next few million years, what can we expect from evolution?
The alternative, of course, is human-driven evolution via artificial selection. With no natural selective pressures (again, humans can cheat natural selection to a large degree), that is really the only way we could evolve. Except, of course, for sexual selection.
Meh, I really don't know. We may see humans diverge on some evolutionary path into two new species. The topic of human evolution is far more complex than that of any other organism.
