Humans might evolve to have larger heads, oversized eyes

We look nothing like our forefathers, especially the ones who used to make a living by hunting mammoths, and odds are future generations won't be all that similar to us either.

Artists and researcher Nickoloy Lamm has recently rolled out a set of images showing how the human face will look like in 20,000 years, 60,000 years and even 100,000 years.

By the looks of it, people will evolve to have larger heads and oversized eyes. The larger heads will house larger brains, so at least from this standpoint things are heading in the right direction.

Humans will allegedly start to grown bigger eyes once they succeeded in colonizing other planets that happen to be farther from the sun than our dear, old Earth is.

The dimmer light in these environments is what will trigger our eyes to reach such impressive sizes, Daily Mail reports.

Nickoloy Lamm also believes that, since UV radiations are stronger on other planets than our own, humans will also sport a more pigmented skin.

Check out the pictures below to get the full picture of how the human face could transform in the millennia to come.
