This drawing uses Lamarckian evolution theory to predict the result of future human evolution. Lamarck's discredited theory proposed that living things evolved out of necessity. So, this future human exhibits features accordingly.

This drawing is utterly inconsistent with present-day, Darwinian evolution theory. Instead of making predictions based on strident presumptive logic, modern evolution theory recognizes the power of unpredictable environmental circumstances that have the potential to produce unexpected results.

Interpretation: There is no reason to suspect future humans will be much different from us.

Bad Luck. I grew up thinking I'd be dead before 21 and yet I'm still alive somehow. I'm under the belief that the greatest gift you could ever have is dying young.

Yeah, I hear if you make it to 21 you have a good chance of making it to 3.5 billion.

To the normal American, 3.5 Billion is a long long long long way off.

To Congress, its right around the corner and may provide a way to get funding if the need is spun correctly.
