Human Body Parts That Will Evolve Over Time

Bright Side

About this episode

The human body is constantly evolving. One of the most debated body parts is the pinky finger, which, over time, could become smaller or even disappear as it's used less in modern activities. Our wisdom teeth are already on their way out, as they served a purpose when our ancestors had a tougher diet. As our reliance on technology and screens increases, our eyes may continue to adapt to cope with more prolonged near-sighted focus. Evolution might also impact our posture, as we spend more time hunched over screens and devices, potentially leading to changes in the spine. But don't worry: these adaptations occur over vast periods. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
