  Probably not in the next 200 years; humans haven’t changed much in the last 10,000 years!

  I think it would take much longer, but we may need to adjust to a new planet in the future which could definitely change how we look.

  Absolutely! Research has shown that our jaws have changed in the last few hundred years as a result of our changing diet. I’m convinced we’ll see changes in the anatomy of the hands/thumbs before long as a result of repetitive texting and scrolling/swiping. There is new evidence to suggest that the shape of our skulls is also changing as a result of spending so much time looking down at phone, tablet and laptop screens! I’d best sign off here then!! :0
