Baklavas question is very good and I find it very possible that it is as it would serve almost no purpose for an speices to not reproduce.
What if humans evovle to all become gay so that our population decreases?

Also there are tons of evidence that humans still evovle.
Evoloution can go in 3 ways:
1. All black, asian and white people etc mate with each other so much so it becomes a mix of all.
2. We adapt to far space travels and become more resistant to radiation.
3. We replace body parts with machin and robot parts and nano-bots. I dont know if this is considered evoloution though.
or 4. Everybody becomes Xeroxodolytes
Human evolution goes faster then ever.

Which is a kinda moot point. We already *had* "one race" at the dawn of humanity. But we 'split up' because the environmental conditions were different in different places of the world.
So no, that would only be a small step backwards until we'll get again "split up".

2. We adapt to far space travels and become more resistant to radiation.
Just that?
If people lived on Mars for tens of thousands of years, which is considerably different than Earth (even in gravity) they would look very different. I mean people even on different parts of the Earth look different.

Better to just create robots from scratch and we (as species) go extinct after some time (they will continue our other stuff). Less difficulties in trying to "transfer" some of your organs, or your brain...

I read that in Illustrated Science, National Geographics and on an Swedish TV show which goes in England/US too.
It's called "Journey with Homo Sapiens" or something like that
In swedish it's called "Resa med Homo Sapiens" atleast and its subtitled with an swedish narrator.

Like I said, it would be a fraction of the time in the evolution sense until we split up again due to environmental differences. That is WHY we split up already. It's not like the different races came from different planets!

But all human "races" are already mixed in many parts of the world and that will increase

Thats genetic distribution. new genes did not come but rather old genes are simply being distributed.

Well, some humans are still unable to procreate. So infertile people and people with a disability, are in a way, deselected from nature's plan.

Impossible. Gays are not evolution. It's something like psyhical mutation.

Possible. If humans live on Mars or another planet for a huge time, they certainly would evolve due to adaptation. But at first we need to learn how to live on Mars.

This is not evolution, just technical progress. And it will not affect your children unless you replace your genitals.

Ahh, I love the irony in the fact that humans were than natural selection. Even though I think it's bad, but what you gonna do? Kill all those that have "bad mutations"? I, as a person favoring nature, don't like the fact that we keep every one alive. I would like to remove all hospitals (and I would have died (unavoidably) about three or maybe four times by now). Does any one have a good idea to resurrect evolution/natural selection?

Man, remember, at the last time humans are not part of nature. So the natural selection wouldn't work.

That's true,it decreases if all decide to be gays.They are not a part of an evolution

It's better a mix of all than discriminating each other.This could be a part of evolution

If everybody would become a gay the population wouldn't increase at all.

Perhaps. The climat is changing so it maybe become same on whole Earth. Then there wouldn't be different races.

Not sensless. Dunno about radiation, but imagine that people all that time was living on Mars and not on Earth. They sure would be very different. Adaptaion is a big part of evolution.

Natural selection does continue to work; however, it is greatly counteracted by the force of modern medicine. It's sort of like when you're riding in a hot air balloon - it's not that you become weightless, it's that the net lift force greatly exceeds the force of gravity on your own mass.

I already said there's no such thing as natural selection with medicine. Or at least as Corribus put it better, it's insignificant and countered.

They would probably look like skinny geeks (less muscles cause less gravity) with bigger eyes (less sunlight) and with northern european or far east asian features (colder climate, though more extreme than on Earth obviously). Will probably look Pale, unless they were radiated without atmosphere, in which case the skin will probably be a weird color depending on radiation.

Yeah. You can replace all other body parts with cibernetic, but it will not affect your children.

Perhaps like that. And they would probably have other bodyparts. No mouth, because it's 'hard' to find food in space. Maybe no ears (I have no idea how does sound spread in vacuum). Perhaps they would look like Protoss or something like that.

Well my assumption was that they would first live in some closed protective systems and not directly in vacuum (until they adapt -- or rather, until we get cyborgs  )
But if they DO live in vacuum on Mars and don't need to breathe or eat food, then most definitely, they will probably look like Protoss. The resemblance is striking: skinny, weird skin color, no mouth, no ear... just the eyes are a little small that's all. lol
