The future evolution of humanity is a huge topic. There are a number of factors that will influence the future evolution of humanity, including how people view and deal with change in general; different models of the processes of evolution and change transforming our world, and different substantive stages of evolution - in physical, biological, cultural, technological, and consciousness areas - which it is argued all work through us as human beings and will influence our ongoing evolution. For more on the process and substance of evolution in different areas, see Groff (2005a), which is a good companion piece to this article.

Additional nearer and middle term factors influencing future human evolution include: negative trends and dangers (including global megacrisis issues and dangers of nuclear and other types of warfare), positive breakthroughs and opportunities (including breakthroughs in many areas of technology-all with important societal implications, and social innovations), unexpected events or "wild cards;" the emergence of increasingly diverse and complex system levels over time, the movement of humanity out into space (to explore, industrialize, and settle in space), military interests in space, the extinction of species and dangers to ecological systems on earth, interspecies interactions and eventual offspring from humans and "alien" species (if other intelligent species exist in the universe), the evolution of humanity remaining on earth; and the evolution of consciousness-on earth and in space.

Farther-term and far, far future factors that can or will influence future human evolution (if descendents of humans still exist-in whatever form-at that time) include: the evolution of our solar system; the evolution and fate of the universe itself; and the possible evolution of consciousness to other dimensions of reality.
