It's very possible that humans will no longer exist - or exist as humans - in that amount of time. In fact, the Earth, the primary home of humans, may not exist. Of course, humans may colonize other spheres.
Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said. Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology. People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added. The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.
Race 'ironed out'
But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims.
Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises. Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features, he adds. Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people.
However, Dr Curry warns, in 10,000 years time humans may have paid a genetic price for relying on technology. Spoiled by gadgets designed to meet their every need, they could come to resemble domesticated animals.
Receding chins
Social skills, such as communicating and interacting with others, could be lost, along with emotions such as love, sympathy, trust and respect. People would become less able to care for others, or perform in teams.
Physically, they would start to appear more juvenile. Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.
There could also be health problems caused by reliance on medicine, resulting in weak immune systems. Preventing deaths would also help to preserve the genetic defects that cause cancer.
Further into the future, sexual selection - being choosy about one's partner - was likely to create more and more genetic inequality, said Dr Curry.
The logical outcome would be two sub-species, "gracile" and "robust" humans similar to the Eloi and Morlocks foretold by HG Wells in his 1895 novel The Time Machine.
"While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other, said Dr Curry.

How did the earth look scientifically 600 million years ago?
didn't exist
How big would the sun look like 1 million miles from earth?
At a distance of 1 million miles from Earth, the Sun would appear much smaller compared to its size in our sky. It would look like a large bright star, but not as large as it appears from Earth.
If you look far enough away can you see Earth in the past?
No. If you look far enough away, you will see OTHER objects in the past. For example, if a galaxy is ten million light-years away, the light of this galaxy took 10 million years to reach us, so we see this galaxy 10 million years ago. Earth's light, from millions of years ago, doesn't come back to us, since (roughly speaking) light travels in a straight line, and moves at the speed of light (300,000 km/sec).
What will mars look like in 100 years?
It is difficult to predict with certainty what Mars will look like in 100 years, as it will greatly depend on advancements in technology, human exploration efforts, and potential terraforming initiatives. However, it is likely that there will be more human settlements, scientific research stations, and possibly initial steps towards transforming the Martian environment to be more habitable for humans.

What did earth look like 100 million years ago?
100 million years ago the continents were starting to take on their modern shapes. In this time dinosaurs were the dominant land animals and forests were widespread, with some even existing in Antarctica. There were no ice caps at the poles.
