I thought that's how people looked already. Anime and manga has lied to me all these years..!
Humans have amazing abilities to predict the future!! ;)
Why, I was just thinking that in about 2 years, give or take, I should see flying cars, hoverboards, Mr. Fusion, etc.
So in 100,000 years we evolve into anime characters? Where are the cute cat ears... at least on the girl... probably that'll show up at around 101,261 years in the future...
I'm glad they warned us, from now on I'm buying bigger sunglasses... just in case.
I highly doubt it.
Here's what I see for the future of humanity.
bio-technology will explode in the next few decdes and lead to the growing of human organs with computer-like properties. We WILL be cyborgs, but it won't be metal sticking out of our foreheads and gears and gizmos on our bodies. We may not even see them at all. They may be organs grown within our own bodies, or grafted there surgically.
You will communicate across an organic web with every human linked in. Information will be at your beck and call. Storage space will maximize memory and recall. And that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Sadly, we are currently under attack by pseudo-conservative corporate kings, our every move recorded and catalogued, and the laws being hammered out of recognizability each day. When we become psy-borgs, who knows what world we will live in...
Changes in a species are a result of adaptation to a change in the environment. It is quite preposterous to predict what the human environment (including social) will be like in one hundred years, let alone ten thousand or a hundred thousand years.
We have flying cars; they come in the form of biplanes and personal jets.
We have hoverboards, but they require water, a speed boat, and a long rope with a handle.
As for Mr Fusion...

lol =P
I'm still waiting on my Jetpack.
Wasn't i supposed to have that by the year 2000?
Dont forget about genetic manipulation creating all kinds of hybrid species out of the human base.
We will have many new looks outdating the old.
Rawn
I'm calling copyright on my base mesh. No creating anything out of me! (other than my kid lawl)
according to old school tv, we should also be well into wearing nothing but silver lamé

You don't?

I want to know why we still have a moon - its eject-by date was fourteen years ago.
The main problem I can see is the pigmentation ;) Blue eyes and blond hair? All recesive genes. In the future we will problably all have dark eyes, darker skin and hair.
;)
Though I guess blue-eyed blondes can be genetically engineered in labs. Like Mamooths and Sabertooths.
Current trends suggest that in the future I will not have hair.
Shhh! Didn't they tell you it's now a prop? I hear Stonemason made it. Don't know what it's rendered in.
Okay - I want my penthouse flat in Opportunity City on Mars - and I want it now! Complete with a butler from US Robotics!
I want the house that cleans itself and the car that drives itself.
...egads we're all going to be "Aikoized".
I think the main point of the article is that humans will be engineered in a huge diversity of directions, both for practicality and aesthetic whim. And like you point out, recessive isn’t an issue when you can recreate and modify these traits in the lab.
I don't believe in genetic manipulation in the labs - it's unnatural and not in harmony with life, and most of those working with it don't have a clue about what they're actually dealing with. And it's not necessary anyway. Genes and all that stuff is and can be controlled by our consciousness - this has been known for thousands of years in the East, and has recently been confirmed by science:
http://www.brucelipton.com/
"Epigenetics adds a whole new layer to genes beyond the DNA. It proposes a control system of 'switches' that turn genes on or off -- and suggests that things people experience, like nutrition and stress, can control these switches and cause heritable effects in humans."

The Mother:
"In the very, very old traditions — there was a tradition more ancient than the Vedic and the Chaldean which must have been the source of both — in that ancient tradition there is already mention of a "glorious body" which would be plastic enough to be transformed at every moment by the deeper consciousness: it would express that consciousness, it would have no fixity of form. It mentioned luminosity: the constituent matter could become luminous at will. It mentioned a sort of possibility of weightlessness which would allow the body to move about in the air only by the action of will-power and by certain processes of control of the inner energy, and so on. Much has been said about these things.
I don't know if there ever were beings on earth who had partially realised this, but in a very small way there have been partial instances of one thing or another, examples which go to prove that it is possible. And following up this idea, one could go so far as to conceive of the replacement of material organs and their functioning as it now is, by centres of concentration of force and energy which would be receptive to the higher forces and which, by a kind of alchemy, would use them for the necessities of life and the body. We already speak of the different "centres" in the body— this knowledge is very widespread among people who have practised yoga — but these centres could be perfected to the point where they replace the different organs by a direct action of the higher energy and vibrations on matter. Those who have practised occultism well enough, in its most integral form, it could be said, know the process of materialisation of subtle energies and can put them in contact with physical vibrations. Not only is it something that can be done, but it is something which is done. And all that is a science, a science which must itself be perfected, completed, and which will obviously be used for the creation and setting in action of new bodies which will be able to manifest the supramental life in the material world."

Seth:
"Your overreliance upon physical norms, and your distorted concepts concerning survival of the fittest, help exaggerate the existence of any genetic defects, of course. Many religious dogmas consider such conditions, again, the results of a god's punishment. The survival of the species is far more dependent upon your subjective activities than your physical ones - for it is your subjective behaviour that is responsible for your physical acts.
Science of course looks at it the other way around, as if your physical acts are the result of a robot's mechanical, formalized behaviour - a robot miraculously programmed by the blind elements of an accidental universe formed by chance. The robot is programmed only to survive at anyone's or anything's expense. It has no real consciousness of its own. Its thoughts are merely mental mirages, so if one of its parts is defective then obviously it is in deep trouble.
But man is no robot, and each so-called genetic defect has an internal part to play in the entire picture of genetic reality. The principle of uncertainty must operate genetically, or you would have been locked into overspecializations as a species.
There are states of consciousness, one within the other, and yet each connected, of course, so that genetic systems are really systems of consciousness. They are intertwined with _reincarnational_ systems of consciousness. These are further entwined with the consciousness that you recognize. The present is the point of power. Given the genetic makeup that you now have, your conscious intents and purposes act as the triggers that activate whatever genetic or reincarnational aspects that you need."

Come on, how much of our world IS natural these days? How much of what we eat, breath, and drink is natural? Natural is yesterday. The future will be synthesised. Obviously any sane person is in two minds about this, and we should never entirely sever ties to nature (probably), but science offers us the potential to be so much more than we are. Look how far we've come since coming out of the trees. Sure, lot of bad stuff, but on the whole there has been a lot of good stuff too.
I have never seen/read any credible evidence that we can control our genetics with our minds. Scientists are just really starting to scratch the surface of understanding genetics, but that doesn't mean in a hundred or a thousand years we won't have a much better understanding, if not mastery.
@Norse: I ouldn't worry about the brain size too much. If we take the size of the brain as an absolute measure of intelligence then we would have to assume women are not as smart as men (their brains are smaller). Obviously anyone who isn't a throwback knows that women are intellectually equal to men.
Here's a few interesting points to consider : http://news.discovery.com/human/psychology/shrinking-brains-intelligence-110207.htm

Over simplify much?
The point is that everything is controlled by consciousness on different levels, which science at large still needs to understand (some are beginning to get it). Genetic engineering is like sticking a needle into your brain to alter your thoughts, instead of just deciding to think differently. Our subconsiousness is really a kind of superintelligence, just tell it what you want it to do and it will do it, and do it the right way - it knows everything about your body, because it designed it in the first place (very simplified explanation, but basically that's how it works).
The psychologist John Shea had a great blog about these thing, unfortunately it suddenly disappeared. I managed to grab a copy of it though before it was gone. You can download it here if you like (263 KB):

Read "Curing the Incurable: Fishskin Disease". This is an example of a genetic disease that was cured by hypnosis.
The article "Mr Wright: the Power of Negative Thinking" is another example of how powerful the mind is when it comes to healing ourselves, in this case from severe terminal cancer. A different version of the story can also be found here:
http://miscfiles.net//temp/0001/Klopfer-Wright-case.txt
What science calls the Placebo effect is just the power of our minds, and used the right way it can be extremely powerful, as this example clearly demonstrates. If we can learn to control our minds effectively we can heal ourselves from anything (or avoid getting ill in the first place). Medical science cannot even cure a cold, but you can learn how to stop a beginning cold instantly using the power of your mind. I've done it several times - usualy it takes a few minutes, never more than an hour, and the cold is gone. I also used to suffer from migraine, now I haven't had as much as a slight headache in over 15 years. As soon as I feel something coming, I just think it away. Anyone can learn to do this. Lots of people are already doing it. And there's tons of information out there about how to learn to do it.
...the food processing corps have been force feeding us GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms - better known in some circles as 'FrankenFoods") for decades. No telling what effects these may have generations down the road.
Take one popular product seen on the grocery store shelves (even those so called "organic/natural" shops), Canola oil, which is touted to be low cholesterol and therefore a "healthy"alternative to normal soy and corn based oils (the sources of which have also been genetically modified).
1. there is no "canola" plant. The oil gets its name from where it was "created", a lab in Canada (Can - ola).
2. Canola is actually a genetically altered derivative of Rapeseed plant oil which is an industrial oil not intended as a food product. There is no such thing as "organic" Canola oil, and unaltered "organic" Rapeseed oil would be very bad to ingest.
3. Canola has been discovered to have long term detrimental side effects which include promoting fatty deposits around the heart and liver, It is a neural enzyme blocker, promotes red blood cell clotting, and it seriously depletes natural Vitamin E levels in the body.
...better living though chemist-...er...genetics.
This is getting into forbidden territory - and also getting a little fractious in places. Please don't do that.
The effects have already started to show. Many farmers have reported that when shifting from GMO to natural food a lot of health problems in their animals disappeared. Here's an interesting video about GMO:
