Nobody knows what human beings will look like in a million years, or whether there will be human beings, and if so, whether we early-2lst-century people would recognise them as human. Will we reprogramme our DNA? Double the size of our brains? We don't know and can't know.

But we can hope that in a million years there will be such a thing as humanity. For as long as there is humanity, there will be human beings. You can't get any closer to angels.
