If you could pick the next stage of evolution

What would it be?
I mean something an extra pair of hands, the ability to get a full nights sleep in say an hour, gills for when the world is flooded.

Shoot!

Invincibility and imortallity.

Super intelligence.

No need for sleep would be a godsend but horrific...

Firms would make the most of it and we would probably spend our lives working, despite the fact that we could hugely increase productivity...

I think basic intelligence would be a start. :|

I'd go with something thats actually helpful to mankind such as Cancer and / or immunodeficiency immunity.

That would be terrible, far too much overpopulation would result, and people wouldnt be able to kill each other for more land. Not that the second part of what I said is a good thing.

Accelerated healing, reduce recovery times yet still allow mortality to maintain population.

telepathy or telekinesis: something groovy

Generically engineer out the chav gene

It would make war quite a comedy though.

If there is a chav gene, this wouldnt require evolution to do, just the go ahead for geneticists to be allowed to play god.

Patience my pet. The time of the Chavpocalyse is close at hand.

*rubs hands together* Mwha hahaha!

No thanks. Normal way is too much fun

Ability for the body to heal itself fully, i.e. regrow limbs, correct eye defects, brain, etc.

Wings and webbed hands/feet, we would all be like super clever ducks!

ng93 · 17 Dec 2011 at 20:24

TBH with the way medical science is going we don't need to evolve naturally as much as we would have otherwise. Just look at the amount of people who have been in accidents which would have killed them 10 or 20 years ago but are still alive.

Shayper · 17 Dec 2011 at 20:25

Don't need to sleep, no hangovers and no comedowns

Flight

I've dreamed about flying so many times. It always seems to real in my dreams...
