This is my post for #freewriters 2281 prompt at least you’ve got your health hosted by @mariannewest
I have often thought about what all my ancestors had to go through for me to be here and if one had died, would I still exist? If I go back to my 10th Great Grandparents they say there would be 4,096 people who had to survive long enough to have sex with someone and get pregnant or make someone pregnant for me to be here. Think about it for a moment that is a lot of people and they died young back then.
I have lost 4 brothers all in their late twenties and none of them had any children. Who knows who one of their offspring could have been, could one of them found the cure for cancer, we will never know.
So the next time you are feeling down, think at least you got your health and if you are a parent feel BLESSED that you will one day be someone's 10th generation grandparent.

What will humans evolve into?
We will likely live longer and become taller, as well as more lightly built. We'll probably be less aggressive and more agreeable but have smaller brains. A bit like a golden retriever, we'll be friendly and jolly, but maybe not that interesting.
