New skeleton
It is not definite
that in the future all humans will share a common physiology as different "human
types" may be developed. The main issue is to construct a new body so that new
anatomical positions-moves and supplementary functions will be are produced.
[11] Limp shapes may be invented in a way rather opposite to the directions
of developmental biology: not only form will follow function but also function
may follow the formation of the limps or bones. At this point, we may assume
that life in the future will continue on the ground, so our primal need is a
skeletal system more bendable, with flexible joints that allow human limps to
be in positions up to now anatomically impossible. [Fig 2,3] From a common ancestor
many mutated individuals may arise: men that evolve swimming mechanisms, bendable
or flexible extra limps, etc... For example, abnormalities as meromelia (absence
of one or both hands or feet) or syndactyly (when two or more digits are fused)
may suggest ways of evolving swimming mechanisms.
