Perviz Walji for Guardian Express Las Vegas: It is a well-established fact that human beings have evolved over time. Evolutionary science tells us that homo sapiens have slowly evolved over thousands of millennia. This has resulted in changes not only in our physical appearance but also our brain sizes and behavior. Looking backwards, human appearances have have clearly evolved down a natural path of evolution, yet looking forward one wonders how technology will affect the way we look in the next 100,000 years.
Now evolutionary science fans are asking how modern technology will change the way we look. To this end, Nickolay Lamm, a visual artist based in Pennsylvania, and Dr. Alan Kwan, a geneticist from Washington University, combined their knowledge and talents to come up with possible answers.
