Human Evolution in 1,000 Years
Evolution never stops — the timeline for evolution is usually measured in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. But in just over a century, the height of the average American male has increased three inches and there have been adaptations to disease in the span of decades. Some of the most radical evolutionary shifts may come from our own doing, as gene editing technologies like CRISPR allow for extreme fine-tuning of the human genome, and the growing potential for interfacing our biological selves with computers. And in 1,000 years, we might not be living on Earth at all.

Buy This Vitara
You could drop $50 million on an ultra-rare Ferrari with a successful racing pedigree — but no Ferrari has been to the Moon. Or ran with dinosaurs. Or can driven with sharks under the sea.
