Man ain't gonna do no evolvin'. It takes millions of years for any significant change to show up, and no human civilization will last that long; if humanity last that long at all.

If we ever evolve in life, our brains will adapt more, since we only use 10% of our brain. HOPEFULLY, we will get to a point where we use all of it. Think of what we could do with 100%, we could possibly use our brain power to list things, or read peoples minds. But that's just a theory.

Stop watching bad sci-fi. Your brain only uses X % of its capacity at a time because it doesn't need to use all 100%. You don't want your computer to constantly use 100% of it's CPU, do you?

Read this.

This trope name comes from the oft-repeated but inaccurate assertion that humans only use 10 percent of their brains. We use all of our brains. When scientists first started cutting open the brains of conscious humans and stimulating what they found with electrodes, they found that a good three-fourths of the cerebral cortex - the cortex being most of the outside of the brain - isn't committed to sensory or motor activity. Electrically probing those areas doesn't produce the immediate results that they got when they stimulated the motor cortex, which is probably how the rumor got started. These areas are called "association areas", and they have a role in interpreting, integrating, and acting on sensory input in combination with stored memories. Higher brain functions, in other words.

In the same way that your house has only a fraction of its rooms being actively used at any given time, only a fraction - a rather large one - of your brain is active at any given moment - but, as with the house, that doesn't mean the rest isn't useful. The history of this trope is fairly well outlined in the first chapter of this book; conveniently the chapter in question is the free sample. Furthermore, Bill Nye (y'know, the Science Guy) wrote a fairly accessible essay on the subject here. There are occasions in some people's lives where the entire brain fires up at once. Its called a seizure. More correctly seizures occur when the parts of the brain start firing off randomly, in some general seizures, the entire brain can have neuronal activity at once for brief moments.

Consider for a moment that the human brain, despite making up on average only 2% of our body mass, uses up approximately 20% of our body's oxygen intake and daily energy expenditure, more than any other organ. The brain uses up calories even while we sleep. Building up such a big brain takes a lot of proteins and lipids (not to mention time) during development. And the brain builds up a lot of excess heat, which has to be dissipated through a network of blood vessels that only serve this purpose of protecting us from internal heatstroke. Seriously, why would we, as a species, carry around such a big resource-intensive lump of neuronal tissue if we didn't need it?

In addition, there's the phenomenon of miscarriage. Human babies have vastly enlarged heads compared to other mammals, yet unlike other mammalian infants (think of videos of giraffes being born) are born in a state of immaturity, such that they're unable to walk. The reason appears to be a selection pressure in favour of human infants being born pre-mature as a result of more mature infants causing miscarriages. And the reason human infants (and human adults) have such absurdly large heads? If the brain was so large that it risked killing the mother and resulted in infants less able to defend themeselves wouldn't it be an appallingly bad design if 90% of it went unused. Sounds like the kind of thing natural selection would correct for in a few generations.

also this.

FYI black people evolved before white people. Whites evolve when our African ancestors moved north through Europe like a million years ago. In fact, black people are more diverse from tribe to tribe than anyone other people in the world, because they've stayed where they were and stewed in their evo-juices, instead of having to focus on adapting to different climates.

Future of humans: cybergenetics + tallness + baldness.

And Saber15 has it right.

skelo evolved int-stuff wait, im already an aggron

ignoring what you said, I'll go by my assumptions of what you mean (How could we make humans better vs. how evolution will change us)

We'll be taller, and hairless. Better at 3D manipulation in our heads, with much skinnier and pointed fingers (For more detailed work) Either duplication of many organs (Primarily the heart) or preferably a mechanism that automatically replaces the insides of the body every dozen years or so to like new conditions. Removal of cancer, mutations (For if are in complete control of our genetics evolution in the forum of natural selection is pointless). one new eye, on the back of the head (So we can see behind us, but no depth perception as if we need it we'll use our better front eyes) removal of fat build up (hello skinny people), protection of the eyes, better eyes in general (Improved night vision, better color differential, and better range in the wave lengths). Also a computer in our heads, so that we learn ow to find information, not just learning the information (Which is essential as we have so much information). Tougher skin, with no pores.

In our logic: Dramatically decreased love drive and desire for power/wealth. Dramatically increased positive response to accomplishment and helping others. somehow force people to see everything brown townytically.

Theres more to add.

That would be nice. The rest is just outlandish to me. Personally, I think the world is wonderful the way it is. People just don't always make the best decisions. But then, we're human. We can't be perfect. Haha. I guess that's the point of evolution, though, to become better than that previous self and for the advancement of a species. :3

In truth, I fear development a bit. Of course, it would be marvelous to be rid of the things that trouble us, but then, we would also be destroying much of the mystery in the world. That isn't all bad, but half of what makes the world beautiful are the things you don't know. I've just always had the idea that you don't always have to know why something is or how something works, you just have to admire what it is and the blessing it is in life.

I want to evolve into Charmander :3

[Skip]

Probably not, but it is interesting that people believed that I had albinism with out any evidence.

It's interesting that people believe you're not stupid without any evidence.
No I'm not calling you stupid.
