Can you imagine what the human body in the future will be like? Our class had a discussion about it. Tiantian, an AI (artificial intelligence人工智能) robot, also joined us. Here are our guesses.

___1___ Humans are now ten centimeters (厘米) taller than 150 years ago. So, in the future, people will probably be even taller. Why? Because most of us today have much better food than those in the past.

You must say that people will be stronger according to the first guess.___2___ With the development of science and technology, we won’t have much physical work to do. If people get used to this kind of lifestyle, we will probably lose most of our muscles (肌肉).

Next, let’s come to our hands and feet. We are already using our feet less, and our hands more. ___3___ At the same time, our fingers and our eyes will both get better because they’ll have to do more work together.

Here comes the most interesting one—it’s very possible that people will have four toes (脚趾), not five. The little toe really isn’t needed anymore. ___4___ Let’s wait and see.

Last but not least—people won’t have as much hair on their bodies as now, since we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm.

What do you think of our guesses?___5___ With the rise of AI, will we lose the ability of thinking independently?

A. But you’re wrong.

B. Will all these things happen?

C. Let’s start with people’s height.

D. Will it still be there in the future?

E. So we can expect our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller.
