Unlike what many prefer to believe, human evolution hasn’t ended. In fact, it’s speeding up. And by the end of this century, we may see new forms of humans walking around that may look entirely alien to us. And a large part of that process has to do with our current and future perception of human physical beauty.

For millennia, prospective parents have done everything in their power to give birth to healthy, strong, and beautiful sons and daughters. Some take this duty more seriously than others.

We’re all on a lifelong journey to improve ourselves, spiritually, mentally and physically. Unfortunately, the ‘lifelong’ part of that statement can sound like an awfully long process for many, especially for those born into rough circumstances or with a mental or physical disability. 

However, through using the developing biotech advances that will become mainstream over the next few decades, it will become possible to quickly and fundamentally remake yourself.

From changing beauty norms to designer babies to superhuman cyborgs, this final chapter in our Future of Human Evolution series will discuss how human evolution could potentially end. Get your bowl of popcorn ready.
