Description:
Explore the potential future of human evolution in this 32-minute video lecture presented by Scott Solomon. Delve into how modern technology and medicine could lead to significant changes in human physiology, including larger heads and robotic implants. Examine the interplay between natural selection and scientific intervention in shaping our species' future. Investigate topics such as evolutionary changes, disease anomalies, societal parallels with ant colonies, and the impact of human industry on evolution. Learn about demographic transitions, gene flow, sexual selection, and the role of technology in altering survival opportunities. Consider the implications of divergent human groups on immunity and how evolution continues to drive human endeavors. Gain insights into Darwin's theories and how our understanding of evolution has expanded since his time.
