How will the human body have changed in 100,000 years? That was the question artist Nickolay Lamm asked genetics expert Dr Alan Kwan. After their discussion, Mr Lamm came up with some interesting predictions.
In the distant future:
• Humans will be living in other parts of the solar system. As a result, our eyelids will have become thicker to protect our eyes from radiation.
• Our nostrils will have grown larger to cope with less oxygen in other atmospheres.
• The size of our skull will have increased because our brain will have got larger.
• We will be using a nano-chip inside our head to receive images and sound for entertainment and communication.
