The year 1,000,000.

As far as evolution goes, man has gone through a lot of changes over the last thousand millennia or so. Our arms have gotten shorter, our brains (for the most part) larger. Our jaws less prognathous and so on. These are adaptations our species has made so as to adjust the modern world.

I suppose in the year 1,000,000 humans will bear some resemblance to humans of today as we bear some resemblance to neanderthals. Maybe somewhere anatomists, paleontologists, geneticists and biologists have worked out a CAD/CAM model of what our descendants will look like.

I have no training, aptitude or proclivity for any of the sciences listed above. But if advertising agencies and holding companies were to rule the future, I have a prediction.
