Phenotypes of the future.

[1stLightHorse]

If miscegenation took place on a full scale, and everyone interbred with whoever they wished anywhere in the world.
After 2000 years what would the eventual result be? What would be the Earth race? Would everyone be brown coloured? What would the eyes look like, the body-type? etc etc. If there was one gigantic mix of Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid of all sub-types, what would this race look like? Surely there are examples alive today.

Post examples of what you think would be the Earth phenotype.

PS- I'm not endorsing this, but it is surely thought provoking.

[Methmatician]

What you see today won't change much if 2000 years of miscegenation occurred.

[1stLightHorse]

What you see today won't change much if 2000 years of miscegenation occurred.

I'm talking 2000 years straight of complete miscegenation. Assuming, at the beginning it was already in full swing, meaning everyone had already intermarried. There are no homogenous populations left.

Not 2000 years if things keep going the way they are today.

Yes, that's what I was talking about. Those genes will still be present and will produce the same looking people as today. The only thing that would change is the idea that certain races live in certain places. Instead you'd be able to see every type within your own town.

[Methmatician]

Races and phenotypes don't 'die'.

They'll look like some tri racial Caucasoid-Negroid-Mongoloid Mutt. Dark hair and dark eyes will definitely be dominant since it dominates even today, I'm guessing as high as 90%, even more. Pure light people will be almost extinct or completely extinct.

This got pegged as the American phenotype of the future some years ago:

I wouldn't swear that he's tri-racial but looks like it. This is how I imagine the human average after heavy mixing: brown skin, eyes and hair, chink eyes, the only thing missing is the frizzly hair. Morphology wise he looks a little too europid so for a more representative look morph him with another sexy brazilian:

That's certainly very optimistic.

[Leon_C]

There will not be many people with caucasian features left other than Indians and middle Easterners, miscegnation will occur first in European countries while the majority of Africa and Asia remain fairly homogeneous, in 2000 years if miscengnation continues the average phenotype will be predominantly Mongoloid/ Negroid, the main caucasiod influence would be from South Asia.

[Arbërori]

Races wont mix as much anymore, since we wont be in much contact after closing our country's borders.

You will have to prove to be 100 % Caucasian and _______________ (insert ethnicity).

[Anglojew]

Genetic manipulation and selection will mean everyone will opt to make their babies Caucasian looking.

[Philo]

They will look like South Americans with More Negroid and Mongloid admix(even though South Americans already look somewhat Mongloid because of Amerindian genes, and also Negroid slave genes)

[Ivan Kramskoï]

Those triracial are disgusting, they look like nothing.
Black with blue eyes, it's kinda scary

[Comte Arnau]

There will be two races. Those who'll have the money to look the way they like, and those who won't.

[Methmatician]

Damn, everyone is so pessimistic here.

[Baluarte]

Sorry to say this, but unless you're delusional, that's simply the most reasonable think to expect.

[Methmatician]

Sorry to say this, but unless you're delusional, that's simply the most reasonable think to expect.

The most reasonable thing to expect is more diversity if such a thing happened. If mixing eliminated diversity then (insert ethnicity) would all look the same. However, they don't. And a probable reason for that would be genetic diversity. This 'one race' crap doesn't exist. People will always look different from one another. Eventually we (humans) are going to need more genetic diversity but that's in the (very) far future.

[gregorius]

We all would look like the rock or vin diesel

Wrong.

[Methmatician]

Wrong.

Fabulous rebuttal :clap2:

[SkyBurn]

It's a known scientific fact that humans will never all look the same. There will be significant phenotypic diversity no matter how much mixing occurs.

[Comte Arnau]

In fact, cheap genetic industries will only lead to a much higher diversity. Just imagine the number of possible combinations. In fact, belonging to the same race during your whole life will be seen as boring.

[mr. logan]

Mass would be disappeared in 2000 years by autoesterilization, due to the constant genetic jumps between species, leaving aside the degeneration by behaviour. To project a phenotype with constant interbreeding, it would be a gipsy type.

[zack]

IMO light skin actually will be pretty common if not the default. As light as whites? no,but a nice tannish pale/yellow tint will be most likely. Light skin is a fairly common mutation and can occur with a just a few generations. Multiple human populations have already went through natural selection for light skin,then dark skin,and then back to light in the past.

Eye color will naturally be as a brown as shit,but as said before genetic manipulation will see light colored eyes be very common.

[ChocolateFace]

A world in which everybody is a mutt will never exist.

I asked a few professors this and they all agreed with me.

[Baluarte]

Depending on the angle, everyone is a mutt, some people are mutts or nobody is a mutt.

[lamb]

In 2,000 years, people will be able to look however they want. Genetic engineering should be the norm. They might take on a practical form for appearance. Hopefully people will be healthy and live much longer lives. Just as long as humans don't exterminate themselves or intellectually devolve before then.

Or maybe..they'll look like this. xD

[Stormer99]

The different mixes would split into different factions like mulattos with mulattos and eurasians with eurasians. A lot of mixed groups would not want to mix with the other mixes. There would also be judgment based on how each mix looked. The whiter ones and ones with most white ancestry would form their own groups compared to the less white.

You're a very optimistic man.

[Moonbird]

They will look triracial. Tiger Woods is an example of one, he's of Black, White and Asian orign. In other words the Caucasian traits will disappear from the phenotype.

I've noticed lately that most humans have adopted a diet high in energy but low in nutrients. Meaning people feed off high calorie foods that aren't very nutrient dense. I've always wondered where this will lead to. How it will affect phenotype. If your nutrient intake is not sufficient (micronutrients), then people end up with things like anemia which actually alters their appearance. Generation after generation may be happening.

I see the typical trend is to avoid more primal foods such as meat and vegetables, and opt for high sugar/starch foods with a stimulant added such as caffeine. When i first thought of that, i looked at depictions of Grey aliens who are supposedly relatively short, with greyish skin but large brains. I thought, such a diet prolonged for hundreds of generations may produce these affects. Low protein = low growth, low nutrient = possible skin discoloration/hairlessness, and what people forget is that Soy products are found in everything that's packaged. This is already destroying natural human fertility which is observed in the 1% per year decrease in sperm count. Grey aliens are also depicted as being without any sexual organs.

Maybe these aliens are a subconscious depiction of ourselves, and we're just fulfilling the prophecy of our own subconscious. This is pretty self-destructive, like most aspects of modern human culture.

[mr. logan]

It will cause overacidification of the system. It will decrease intelligence, boost primary impulses, and as sexual impotence will start appearing earlier, something that is already showing, with unsatisfactory lactic acid discharge by sex act, violence between persons will increase. Masturbation will continue increasing, which will lead to deeper mental, physical and behaviour disfunctions.
Also, acid increase will lead to absolute loss of beauty. Tenser muscles will affect body shape, overtense dark brain will change facial expression.

The explosion in growth of grain and corn crops to feed livestock has contributed to depletion of the mineral content in soil, so unless this is controlled and the production of meat/dairy decreases, nutritious foods like fruit and vegetables will become an expensive commodity, and in the future they won't contain the same level of nutrients. About 150 years ago, ground soil had over 2X more the amount of minerals as it does today. If the world population continues to grow as it is now, a lot of people will experience starvation and malnutrition in the future. You can already see these effects happening.

Even if everyone decided to marry inter-racially and people kept doing so for the next 100 generations, people with blond hair, blue eyes and extremely pale skin* would still exist and they wouldn't be rare.

*and generally extremely light or normal light varieties of eye and hair color and partial or total skin depigmentation.

You just have to think of the global gene pool and you will notice that even if everyone in it mates inter-racially for many generations, genes coding for blue eyes/blond hair/pale skin would still be expressed in a very large number of the mixed individuals, many times concurrently.

At least that's what I would predict.

[Baluarte]

The problem is not genes, it's the destruction of ethnic identities.

It'd seem that soon enough, being "French" will be a purely administrative title to refer to your location.
