From a scientific point of view, how are humans expected to evolve over the next 100-1000 years? From being able to walk upright, to losing body hair, all the way to learning how to become civil and communicate with written and spoken languages, the human as we know it today is bound to change in the future. What features will we gain/lose as a result of evolution? Will we gain that "6th sense"? How about an increase in brain size?

I'd be interested to hear your answers because I have not found much research about this on the internet. How we've evolved, yes. How we will evolve, no.

Serious answers please. I don't need to know that we will start growing 48 pairs of arms to multi-task!

I remember back in grade school, learning/hearing a term or phrase that describes the beginnings of failures of a system of processes. Not sure if that makes any sense. I'm trying to associate it with the downfall of a civilization. Lets take the United States of America for instance. We started out a small and slowly building nation. Then the industrial revolution, then the space age, now advanced computers. Our infastructure has grown so large it can not sustain itself anymore. And all the pieces are starting to fall apart. One by one, the end is coming near. I don't ask this as an "end of the world" question, but more of a premonition. I sit back and see the stitches ripping from the seems. Anybody have any clue what this is called?

"Downfall of civilization" is just too obvious of an answer to make sense.

Regards

I once remember learning in grade school that there was a difference between streets, boulevards and avenues. I think something may have to due with how they run, meaning North/South or East/West but I can not remember for sure. Or maybe the width of the road..who knows...Please help me!
