Humans will be very different creatures 1,000 years from now.
Climate change, artificial intelligence and genetic mutations are all set to transform our bodies in drastic ways, according to a recent video.
We could for instance, develop red eyes as our DNA mutates, and have darker skin as an evolutionary response to global warming.
'In the future nanobots - or tiny robots - will be suddenly integrated into our own bodies, enhancing our abilities,' it says
'No longer will we be limited by own own physiology, but truly become a mixture of biology and machine on the inside.'
Meanwhile, designer babies will cause future generations to grow into intelligent, attractive and physically people.
'But while that will make us better smarter, stronger and better looking, such genetic similarity, or lack of human diversity, leaves room for a single new disease of the future, to wipe out the entire human race.'
As global warming takes hold, humans will also be skinnier and taller, it predicts, as this body shape is better able to dissipate heat.
Our faces may also change dramatically, according to Dr Alan Kwan, who holds a PhD in computational genomics from Washington University in St Louis.
Genetic mutations may cause our eyes to turn red and give us superhuman abilities, the video claims
Dr Kawn has created a stunning series of images which display one possible evolution for the human race over the next 100,000 years.
Dr Kwan believes that key to our future evolution will be man ‘wresting control’ of the human form from natural evolution and adapting human biology to suit our needs.
As genetic engineering becomes the norm, ‘the fate of the human face will be increasingly determined by human tastes’ writes Dr Kwan, while foreheads will continue to expand as our brains continue to grow larger.
As man achieves total mastery over genetics, the human face will become heavily biased towards features that humans find fundamentally appealing: strong, regal lines, straight nose, intense eyes, and placement of facial features that adhere to the golden ratio and left/right perfect symmetry.
