I found a particularly interesting article on the National Geographic website the other day that speculated on how humans may or may not evolve in the future.

Sheldon enthusiastically typed away as he chewed on a red vine. Skype sessions with Amy had been part of his routine after work, and he had always been excited to share things that fascinated him, especially when it was with her.

One theory suggests that humans have already reached an evolutionary plateau and won't evolve further.

They explained that genetic innovations are only likely to become fixed in small, isolated populations. As if, right?
Amy Farrah Fowler
Must be one of those loony-bins that thought the earth was flat.
Sheldon Lee Cooper
LOL
…
Sheldon liked the fact that Amy always agreed with him. If it was Leonard, he might have said something suggesting that the theory of an evolutionary plateau had its 'points' and 'merits.'

The second one suggests that humans would continue to evolve into more intelligent and physically superior beings.

Women would evolve to be stouter and shorter since those are the common ovulatory characteristics associated to multiple childbirth, and those characteristics are, in turn, passed on to their offspring.

And based on the ever evolving technology, the more intelligent rules over the less intelligent when it comes to the mating chain.

Still, with media and pop culture consistently corrupting the minds of the lesser folk, individuals would rather choose to procreate with the bad boy heartthrobs and scatterbrained females. A sad truth.
Amy Farrah Fowler
A sad truth indeed.

I have to say though, I believe we are somewhat of a new, more developed and superior species of man. A Homo Novus if you will. It's sad to think that there might only be two of us in the world.
Amy Farrah Fowler
Yes, which is why I have a proposal for you.
Sheldon Lee Cooper
Go on.

Like how endangered animals such as giant pandas and western tragopans are isolated in a wildlife preserve to mate and multiply, I suggest for us to procreate. But in petri dishes. No physical contact.
…
Sheldon stared at the screen in disbelief.
Really Amy? You want to procreate?
