The human body has changed with time. It has changed with evolution (e.g. bigger brains, shape of pelvis). It has changed with nutrition (taller, fatter, longer-lived). It has changed with fashion (e.g. tattoos, make-up, 6 packs). It has changed by travel (e.g. mixing backgrounds). It has changed with medical science (e.g. longevity, bionic implants, tissue engineering) and technology. We have even expanded our memory and communications through wireless devices like phones.    1. What are the key steps (e.g. ideas or advances) that needed to come together for the human body to reach its present state of development? More specifically, choose one aspect (e.g. you might choose obesity, telecommunications, shoes size, and so on) and discuss the 3-4 key innovations that occurred for us to get to this present state. Justify why you believe these are the key innovations. (5 marks) 2. Predict changes to the human body in terms of this aspect (that you chose above) that are likely to occur over the next 10 years? Why do you think so? (3 marks if the ideas are feasible) 3. In the distant future, e.g. 50 to 100 years, what will this aspect then be like? What crazy futuristic features could it have? (2 marks for great futuristic ideas, not necessarily feasible)
