Evolution will come to an end

When will our universe end? If at all it will.

Maybe the bang came from one massive black hole reaching a critical state where something inside changed so that it went sort of boom. In that sense this "universe" could contain many universes made of the same stuff. Don't know, can't know.

Side: Well

If there ever comes a time were all life ends, then evolution will also have to come to an end as well.

Side: Well

god will decide when hes done evolutioning stuff.

Evolution can come to an end if we decide we will interfere with the current genetic diversity by introducing the ability to get rid of all genetic mutations. Evolution ends up selecting the most favorable "mutations" to carry on. If we decide we know all mutations and we eleminate those we don't want, evolution will come to a stand still.

Even if we come to know all our genetic code and choose to eliminate any types you don't wish to see and prevent people breeding where you don't wish to allow it, you can only do this as long as you have the means available. That won't be for very long and in that time all you are doing is having the same effect that evolution can have where a population needs a very specific form to survive.

Even if you could enforce such things, and I cnotend if could not happen, it is likely such oppression would result in a revoltr a species as adaptive and aggressive as ours.

The world is in constant change. Human civilizations fail and fall. In time people will be once again required to adapt to climatic and enviromental changes, such as occur in an ice age.

All things end. Life is no exception. If life doesn't end, overpopulation will deplete energy resources, causing life itself to end. Evolution cannot commence without life.

i think so. and that is my opinion only. but there is no evidence that it will though. it is just a feeling

Depends on scope. Will evolution end on earth ? Almost certainly, the current science says the Sun will expand and burn the earth to a cinder at some point in the future. However the solar system, galaxy and universe will continue to evolve for some time. But according to the latest scince eventually Dark Energy will result in the heat death of the universe. But since most of the universe is Dark Matter which we know nothing about it's all speculative.

Evolution is all about changing, whether it's better/worse, more/less, etc etc. The only way for evolution to stop is when time itself stop/meaningless, to be perfectly stand still for eternity.

Side: No

Evolution is neither for better or worse, it is just the adaptation of a species in its habitat, therefore, devolution is virtually impossible because habitats are changing.

No I'm not mic your AWSOME dude your my role model if you don't like the pic I could change it at anytime.

You probably should change it to another alien pic it's too confusing otherwise.

Side: No

No, evolution will not come to an end. There is no evidence it will.

Side: No

Scientists actually currently believe that we are still going through it as we speak (or rather, type.)

Here is an article about it, and although it doesn't guarantee that it won't stop, it proves that it hasn't stopped. If you wish to deny that it is going on, please give me proof. Here is evidence that evolution is continuing today, why would it stop?

Evolution cannot end while there is life still based on a genetic code. We may think that a few buildings, medicines and machines conquer our natures but we are still very much subject to our biology.

Even for humansm evolution is doing fine. In the last 200,000 that we have existed wwe have developed a series of sub groups round the world. Our evolution is heabily driven by ice ages and we are due an ice age soon. This has been deferred about1500 years by our CO2 emissions but its coming.

Our cultures do not last more than few hundred years and this culture will dcline and changte and the need to survive against nature will become more apparent at least in many parts of the world.

For the rest of life, evolution is churning away.

All creatures that breed are passing on attirbutes to the nect generation, Those best able to survive ar emore likely to pass theirs on again and so populations and utimatey species change.

Side: No

Evolution will not come to an end since the only thing permanent in our universe is change. The only way for evolution to end is for everything in existence cease to move and remain in a null and motionless universe. Therefore it cannot be ended.

But it could be destroyed by a super nova or another Big Bang thus bringing evolution to an end.

I must disagree. Evolution implies change and increasing complexity. Almost all models of the late universe suggest heat death as the universe expands. We used to think there might be a big crunch that would reignite the fire, but the discovery of dark energy which accelerates the expansion makes that unlikely.

Side: Well

Yes you do have a point. But based on my research, some Universe apocalypse scenarios are still theories such as the Black hole era in which there are no more stars in the Universe and the Dark era in which there nothing in the Universe such as dark matter. May I ask other facts or theories about the end of the Universe? I believe I missed out on some possible scenarios.

Side: No

Evolution will never come to an end. When we as a society start to advance in the outer reaches of our galaxy and our universe we will find things that will force us to keep evolving. If we don't evolve to these things then we will be faced with death.

Side: No

Considering humans haven't had to adapt to its surroundings recently, it doesn't mean that evolution vanishes.

As time progresses, some scientists hypothesize that humans will have bigger brains and grey skin much like the picture in the avatar.

Side: No

Evolution is a continuing process and humans will continue to evolve.

Side: No
