We consulted some evolutionary biologists for predictions, most of which concern the next several hundred years. Before we get going, we should mention that scientists find it much easier to describe the events of the past million years than to predict the next million -- not just easier, but more accurate. Nevertheless, a few took the plunge, and we're passing on to you the predictions they could make with confidence. Get ready to say yikes! Brush up on evolution at HowStuffWorks.com. |
