Anthropologists are divided on the future appearance of the human race, with some leaning toward great change and others maintaining that people have evolved as far as they can, according to a new report in a Russian newspaper。

Professor Curry predicted that humans will have an average lifespan of 120 years, men with exhibit symmetrical figures, appear athletic and be 2 meters tall. Women, he said, will be 1.9 meters tall and sexy beauties。

- I4 @6 v3 L( x1 q8 M2 y8 a 如伦敦经济学院的奥利弗·卡里教授预言,未来男人都将是身材匀称、运动员体型、身高两米的大汉,女人都将是身高达1.9米的性感美女。人类平均寿命将达到120岁。卡里还认为,10万年后,人类将分为“优美型”和“粗陋型”两个亚种。“优美型”是由那些漂亮、聪明、健康、生活美满和富有创造性的人群组成的特定阶层,这些人只会在本阶层中繁衍后代。而“粗陋型”将是一些面容丑陋,身材矮小,被人瞧不起的“下层人”。然而,不少人类学家和未来学家都认为,这种带有不平等色彩的令人“不愉快”的变化会来得更早,就在千年之内。 / |; h- Y7 e' }
还有科学家认为,由于总吃些易咀嚼的食物,人类的脸会变圆,牙齿也会稀疏,身上的毛发都会掉光,脑袋也会因处理大量信息变得又大又圆,看上去就像电影里的外星人一样;多种肤色也将消失,而会综合成一种中间色——“牛奶咖啡色”。 |
