What Humans Will Look Like In 1,000 Years | Insider Tech — Transcript

1. 0:00what humans will look like in a thousand
2. 0:02years humans are still evolving so where
3. 0:05will Evolution take us in a thousand
4. 0:07years chances are we'll be taller humans
5. 0:10have already seen a boom in height over
6. 0:12the last 130 years in 1880 the average
7. 0:15American male was 5' 7 today he's
8. 0:195'10 we may also merge with machines
9. 0:22that can enhance our hearing eyesight
10. 0:25health and much more right now there are
11. 0:28hearing aids that let you record sounds
12. 0:30generate white noise and even come with
13. 0:32a built-in phone another example is a
14. 0:36team out of the University of Oregon
15. 0:38which is developing bionic eyes that
16. 0:40help the blind to see but it's not
17. 0:42impossible to imagine that the
18. 0:44technology could become a tool for
19. 0:45seeing what we currently consider
20. 0:47invisible like different energies of
21. 0:49light such as infrared and x-rays there
22. 0:52will eventually be a day where
23. 0:54Prosthetics are no longer just for the
24. 0:56disabled however it's not just our
25. 0:58outside appearance that will change our
26. 1:01genes will also evolve on microscopic
27. 1:03levels to Aid our survival for example
28. 1:06an Oxford Le study discovered a group of
29. 1:08HIV infected children in South Africa
30. 1:11living healthy lives it turns out they
31. 1:13have a built-in defense against HIV that
32. 1:15prevents the virus from advancing to
33. 1:17AIDS and with Gene editing tools like
34. 1:20crisper we may eventually control our
35. 1:22genes and DNA to the point where we make
36. 1:24ourselves immune to disease and even
37. 1:26reverse the effects of Aging another way
38. 1:29to jump start the the human evolution on
39. 1:31a different path is to move some of us
40. 1:33to Mars Mars receives 66% less sunlight
41. 1:37than Earth which can mean humans on Mars
42. 1:39will evolve larger pupils that can
43. 1:41absorb more light in order to see and
44. 1:43since Mars's gravitational pool is only
45. 1:4638% of Earth's people born on Mars might
46. 1:49actually be taller than anyone on Earth
47. 1:52in space the fluid that separates our
48. 1:54vertebrae expands which led American
49. 1:56aerospace engineer Robert Zubin to
50. 1:58suggest that Mars's low gravity could
51. 2:00allow the human spine to elongate enough
52. 2:03to add a few extra inches to our height
53. 2:06however not even a move to Mars could
54. 2:08spark the biggest change in human
55. 2:09evolution that we may have coming in the
56. 2:12next Thousand Years immortality the path
57. 2:15to immortality will likely require
58. 2:17humans to download their Consciousness
59. 2:18into a machine right now scientists in
60. 2:21Italy and China are performing head
61. 2:23transplants on animals to determine if
62. 2:25you can transfer Consciousness from one
63. 2:27body to another they claim their next
64. 2:30big step is to transplant human heads
65. 2:33whatever happens in the next Thousand
66. 2:34Years whether we merge with machines or
67. 2:36become them one thing is certain the
68. 2:39human race is always changing and the
69. 2:41faster we change and Branch off from
70. 2:43Earth the better chance we have of
71. 2:45outrunning Extinction
