      As a species we will probably won’t develop much, because our societies protect us from nature, and nature is what drives evolution.

      If there are particular things that make it really unlikely for an individual to pass their genes on, like terrible depth perception that make crossing the road really dangerous, then we might as a species get slightly better at crossing the road…

      As we get better at treating genetic diseases, it will become more and more posisble for people with genetic diseases to have children… and this may mean that we have more genetic diseases in the future.

      OH amazing. I don’t know. I think technology will help us to develop a lot. I reckon humans will have to do less, which hopefully won’t mean we will get more unhealthy! I think robots will probably be able to do a lot of our jobs but as humans we will be able to develop other jobs!!! We will understand our earth more and I hope we will take more care of it too.
