According to ChatGPT, this is what humans will look like in the year 3025

Humans, like any other species, are subject to evolution. However, knowing how or if we might look different in the future is complicated. Here are some theories.

The new millennium

The Spanish magazine 'Muy Interesante' asked ChatGPT how humans might look in 1,000 years. The chatbot combined studies on evolution, neuroscience, biotechnology, and habits to find possible characteristics.

Larger skull

ChatGPT says that managing large volumes of abstract information would require a larger brain, especially in the visual and cognitive processing areas.

Bigger eyes, longer necks

Exposure to screens and closed spaces would increase eye size to better capture light, and a subtle change in the cervical structure, with longer and thinner necks.

Prominent ears

According to the AI, many avenues of research suggest that humans will have larger ears to enhance hearing in environments with a lot of background noise and regulate body temperature, as some species already do.

Narrower jaw and chin

Current diets include softer foods, and this trend is expected to increase in the future, which will result in less use of the jaw and chin muscles, reducing their size and that of the teeth.

Homogeneous skin and absence of beard

The chatbot also said that pollution and exposure to artificial light could make skin more homogeneous and smooth, with less hair. The AI noted that the anti-aging industry is prospering, so future humans might not have wrinkles.

Poker Face

Emotional communication is shifting from social to digital. Daily exposure to impactful stimuli and replacing emotions with emojis could lead to a loss of facial expressions and a shift to more neutral faces, even reducing facial muscle mobility.

Likely the same

However, experts contradict the chatbot on one crucial basis for its analysis: the evolution timeline. According to Donald Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University and founder of Lucy, humans will likely look the same in 1,000 years.

Evolution takes millions of years

“It's unlikely that we're going to see any significant changes, and 1,000 years is much too short,” he said in a University Q&A. Mr. Johanson believes genetic changes will continue, but “in terms of anatomy and so on, a thousand years is a blink of an eye.”

More technology, less evolution

Other experts think our appearance will change somewhat dramatically in 1,000 years, not due to the natural course of evolution but to technological advances and the way we modify our bodies through prosthetics or even gene editing.

How about tens of thousands?

That is not to say researchers have not attempted to predict how humans might change through evolution over tens of thousands of years. Nicholas R. Longrich from the University of Bath analyzed The Conversation.

Mr. Longrich predicted that artificial selection will now drive our evolution. Unlike ChatGPT, he said brains would become smaller, making humans less smart but more agreeable and less aggressive.

He also believes humans will be taller and slimmer on average, an ongoing trend for thousands of years. Their features will also be more homogeneous as ethnicities fade with globalization.

On the other hand, the BBC consulted Dr. Jason A. Hodgson, an expert in Grand Challenges in Ecosystems and the Environment, who used bioinformatics to predict the future.
