i hope its the same as now but it could be like 300 or something

imagine being 300 years old how crazy would that be you would be like yoda

sea turtles live like 150 years that would be pretty cool to be a sea turtle

In one million  years? We will probably have killed ourselves off. But just for the hell of it, we'll live to be about 500sh.

by then our bodies will have evolved and will no longer be classified as homo sapiens.

not to mention...that either a.we will have killed the world(i HIGHLY doubt this even though idiots say we will...people have no clue what this earth has been through in the past)

or b. even if we were SOMEHOW still around, i think that we would need to evolve mentally more...because structurally we are fairly on point, but as of now we dont have the mental capacity to make the needed inventions for that time.

shit we could all be dead by then(homosapiens) and there would be the next dominating species running the world. (this is my guess)

the word won't be around.
as for evolution....  there is a pretty big difference between theory and fact.

i can't believe macro-evolution until there is more solid ground for it to stand on.
it could be true, but there are a few key points missing.

i think humans will still be around, but in no way like we are today. I also think we'll run out of recourses a long time before 1 mill years from now, and that's when evolution will kick in, or we'll die.

I am quite sure that humans or even the evolutionary descendents of current humans will not be around in 1 million years. hey who knows if earth will even sustain life of any kind in 1 millions years. apparently venus used to be quite like earth and it's current conditions (caused mainly by co2 trapping suns energy) could be quite similar to earths future. correct me if im wrong on that but i remember reading something along those lines.

people will become more and more robotic as technology advances.  more and more parts of the human body can be replaced by mechanical parts these days and eventually you will be able to back up your brain to a hard drive.  once your organic parts fail you will be able to continue your existence essentially forever.  science channel ftw.

honestly we will be able to travel to far distances in the universe, and experience life on other planets, dont forget that it is the way our earth is and the distance from the sun and gravity, all of this has a huge impact on our life expectancy, so i believe that we will be able to live longer and possibly actually live in peace and co-exist with other species, however, we are a stubborn, disgusting race and will probably be destroyed.

I remember reading somewhere that the maximum a human body can live is 120 years, after that the cells can't replicate themselves properly and everything falls to shit, so yeah, 120 years.

if we're even still around then, i can promise the term "expectancy" will no longer have meaning.  we will either be engineered to die at a certain point or will be able to be told the exact date it will happen.

so the dumb ones will die off, fair enough....

We (the human race) are going to stick around for a long long time... once the earth is full (it will happen), the smart ones will resort to things like space-travel and stuff.

I highly doubt we (the human race) will simply die off as a result of some massive nuclear war or (laugh) climate change.

i believe the mayans are right... get to watch the olympic races in whistler, then POOF...  world is over.

either that or the dogs will finally get pissed at us for calling them Pookey and shit and kill us all and then take over the world and start being incredibly smart and stuff.

well aren't we the first human generation that wont out live our parents?

in this day and age with all the carcinogens in our food and water and spreading heart disease and the epidemic of obesity life expectancy will probably remain about the same. even with technology in medical field increasing i think the food industry will find things that taste so good that they will keep our expectancies low.

Here are some thoughts on the topic.

Genetics research is progressing at an extreme rate and soon will unlock and change all that is human existence. Animals like Alligators have no life expectancy they have only life span. They would live indefinitely if not for disease and other outside influences. Almost everything that determines our lives comes from genetics if we could alter the aging gene or more likely genes we could alter everything about ourselves wings, gills, bone structure. These advances could be seen in our lifetimes.

Humans have pretty much stopped natural selection by use of technology. Look at the south. Also the less intelligent you are the more likely you are to procreate.

So time is not the issue. its technology. If you want a good book on the topic read Vision by Michio Kaku easy read and easy to understand. He talks about the different stages of society 1-3 and right now we are not even a level 1.

i can almost guarantee humans wont be around in a million years.... the earth changes so much that the creatures that habbit it cycle through who ever can survive the new climates.... humans have only been here for 0000's of years, think about what was around a million years ago...we aint gona be existant

if the human race is still around i believe we will start using more of our brain capacity since we only use a small percentage of them. which will probably lead to many more advanced ways of living

I'm sure civilization will probably self destruct and in 1,000,000 years humans either won't exist or their society will be completely unrecognizable from ours is today so who knows?
