Now this might be crazy but I ask that you actually take the time to read this because I believe that my thoughts on the next human evolution are the most viable. I purposely didn't read much about the next human evolution so that my first thoughts on it wouldn't be influenced by what I read. However, knowing what I know regarding science and the current advancements I think that my theory is well backed.
Hybrid Humans?
Yes, hybrid humans. We will not be fully robots, but we will not be fully humans. As conditions worsen in our atmosphere, as our bodies weaken and as the future calls for more advanced humans, we will enter a world that will drastically change and the humans of today won't be able to survive for very long. We have not hit the climax on the average human age of death but I do believe we will soon and my belief is that the average age of death with actually start to go down as the environment changes. We will have more technology and medical advances, but there will be certain things in our atmosphere that we will not be able to change.
Replace the cells in your body with NEW CELLS
We already see that the human species may see it's first immortal man by the year 2045. Immortal, really? Yes, it can happen and their are medical advances that are being created (have been created) that will aid in making us immortal. Cell scrapers/scrubbers are one of the technological advances that will help to clean out the old cells in our body and replace them with new cells. Sound ridiculous? Well it's already been done on mice successfully!
Print out new organs?!
Yes and it's been done! A 3D Bioprinter can print out new organs and arteries by the use of cells from the organ that's being created. If you're creating a liver, you must use liver cells. More information regarding this amazing technology here: http://www.gizmag.com/3d-bio-printer/13609/
Replacing our body parts with machinery
In the near future machinery will be so advanced that we will be able to make even better (and lifelike) body parts out of extremely advanced machinery that will plug right into our current nervous systems to give us true motion and allow us to still feel pre-programmed feelings. We will be able to lift more, run faster, run longer and virtually never wither away. Our brains will be updated too with micro-computer chips that will make us much more intelligent, improve memory, improve our ability to learn, etc. Don't believe me?

This all being said, humans are heading into an era where machines and intelligent computers will rule and they will be integrated into our systems making us more intelligent, smarter, faster and more accurate. Hybrid humans will roam the planet. But what will follow? Complete replica human robots that have all the same feelings/emotions as a real human but still a robot? Why yes, I do believe so. Let me know your thoughts!

Interesting read Chris, I never even thought about this. It will be interesting to see where this actually goes.
A big part of life is death. If people were to become immortal, it would take away so much from them. People aren't meant to live forever.
