Changes in society may affect us
physiologically. Researchers are already suggesting that humans will
demonstrate delayed sexual maturation as a result of societal
changes. As technology continues to improve and robots begin to
replace menial tasks, we will have more free time. Robots will
dominate unskilled jobs, making it more difficult to find work
without an education, thus necessitating a delay in having children.
Brain size is expected to increase as well, and as a result, we will
need more energy and time, resulting in less reproduction. Medical
technology may allow for changes to the “biological clock,” and
possibly an elimination of it altogether. It may be entirely feasible
for couples over 60 to have children in the future, and we may also
have longer lives, living until 120 by the year 2050.
