Humans may evolve bizarre features such as webbed feet and eyes like cats in response to changing environments, a scientist claims today. Experts calculated how our physical appearance could change under a number of scenarios, including a ‘water world’ if melting ice caps cause rising sea levels. They also considered what would happen in a second ice age which could be triggered by an asteroid strike, and if humans colonised other planets.

They also considered what would happen in a second ice age. These artist’s impressions show how women may evolve to develop webbed feet and hands and cat’s eyes. Dr Matthew Skinner, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Kent, examined the three scenarios and worked with artist Quentin Devine to help visualise how humans could look in the future.
Dr Skinner said some changes – such as webbed feet and hands becoming widespread – could take place very quickly as some humans already have a genetic mutation that produces webbing...

Sounds about right - it’s already caused a lot of people to insert their craniums into their oral cavities.
Slick Willie, not so much...
I need to buy an SUV, I can't wait....
Oral cavities?
I suppose the cats would develop webbed feet too?
I don’t think so.
Probably be just one mountain island left in the world,
they could call it Isle of Cats.
This is proof that many people are educated beyond their intelligence.
Nice! I was thinking Kevin Kostner from Waterworld, but that works.
I think they got GMO mixed up with global warming.
You’ve got to admit, she’s got a nice set of gills.
It would be kewl!
We could swim with ease, and see in the dark!
“Even James T. Kirk would have trouble with this!”
But B Clinton wouldn’t.
Little girl wanna play intern?
Yea, right. Supposedly it takes millions of years to make even small changes.
The Climte Change Clown Show is making Coast to Coast seem rational.

sounds like my junior prom date...
Competition will pressure most everyone to upgrade genetically. Some will do it for utilitarian purposes (specialized jobs), some governments will do it for their purposes (super soldiers, compliant citizen/subjects), and others will do it to express themselves (letting their freak flags fly).
Look what some people do voluntarily (FYI, this is a male):
Everyone needs to go and read the comments after this article. Hilarious!
Oops (but I did get two of the four letters right)
I was going to say.... Have they walked down Hollywood Boulevard lately? That ain’t Global Warming(TM), that’s plastic surgery.
