The future is always unknown, especially the distant future, but that shouldn’t stop us from making educated guesses. That’s exactly what artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm did with help from Dr. Alan Kwan, who has a doctorate in computational genomics from Washington University. Their starting point was the question: “What do you think the human face might look like in 100,000 years and why?”

From there, they reasoned out how humanity with advanced genetic engineering technology might reshape itself over time, taking over the role played by natural selection so far. Lamm then created a series of images of what he thinks the human face might look like 20,000 years, 60,000 years and 100,000 years in the future (Note: He said that we shouldn’t read too much into the fact that the man and woman are Caucasian because those were just the best models he could find).

Even Gen Z won't be here in 100,000 years - but what do you think of this prediction?
What do you think of Nickolay Lamm's prediction?
Do you think humans will exist in 100,000 years? (It is estimated that humans have been on earth so far for between 100,000 and 200,000 years).
Will you submit your drawings, sketches etc to the Survey Board? Anything really good will appear as Issue of the Week later on.
