      Hiya,

      I’m not sure I understand the question. We are a product of evolution already – as is every other living thing. If you mean how will we evolve in the future, well the simple answer is ‘i’m not sure’ – no one is. It depends on the environment we live in…ask yourself, what about us make us less likely to die (especially when we are young, before we’ve had children of our own), and what attributes make us more likely to have babies? Over time, those are the things that natural selection will favour….so maybe losing our appendix would be one!
