Dr. Alan Kwan and several other geneticists
showed the human faces of the future.
This is what human faces may look like
20,000, 60,000 and 100,000 years later.
In 20,000 years: Humans have a larger head with a forehead that
is subtly too large. A future “communications lens”
is represented by the yellow ring around their eyes.
These lenses will be the ‘Google Glass’ of the future.

In 60,000 years: Human beings have even larger heads,
larger eyes and pigmented skin. A pronounced superciliary
arch makes for a darker area below eyebrows.
Miniature bone-conduction devices may be implanted
above the ear now to work with communications lenses.

In 100,000 years: The human face is proportioned to the ‘golden ratio,
’ though it features unnervingly large eyes.
There is green “eye shine” from the tapetum lucidum,
and a more pronounced superciliary arch.
A sideways blink of the reintroduced plica semilunaris
seen in the light gray areas of the eyes,
while miniature bone-conduction devices implanted
above the ear work with the communications lenses on the eyes.
