Last weekend Forbes.com released an article projecting what the human face might look like 100,000 years from now. Factors taken into consideration were zygotic gnome engineering, change in climate, evolution, larger brains, possible colonization away from planet earth, stronger cosmic rays and increased UV radiation. A drawing revealed freakishly large eyes with a sideways blink, denser hair, higher foreheads and increased skin pigmentation (see left).

It’s fun to think about what man might look like in the year 102,013. It inspired me to sit down, flex my sci-fi imagination and sketch my own projection (see right).

Perhaps my forecast for the human race is a bit less optimistic.
