I remember seeing a TV show like “Nova” many years ago that showed a sketch of “future man”. It showed a bald , somewhat pointed cranium and it also implied that “future man” would be significantly taller than the average man today.

Nerd Alert: Captain Picard, Charles Xavier and Lex Luthor all look like “future man” to me, mostly beacuse of the bald head.

I pity you folks who are cursed with hair…

Frankly I prefer Matt’s angular head to Nick’s rounder shape, and I’m somewhere in the middle.

I had a teacher once who kept pounding into us youngsters that he was more evolved than the rest of the human race since he was born completely without hair.

Yes, he had some issues.

Fredfacker, that sounds a lot like the world today! No, MBFH, it is not you. I thought “Vin Deisel” immediately.

I thought Mike Judge made some comical but interesting points about “future man” in his movie Idiocracy — the premise being that natural selection no longer weeds out the sick and weak while the most intelligent of the species are no longer bothering to breed as it’s not fiscally prudent. The result is a future world full of complete dunces living in piles of garbage and totally reliant on technology that they barely have the comprehension to maintain.

Future man sounds like the Mekon from Dan Dare comics.

Is it me or is the Neanderthal actually Vin Diesel…? Enjoy your Superbowl citizens of the USA, it sounds about as interesting as cricket.

Loren, the only images of “future man” I can remember encountering where all from superhero comics of the 60s, particulary DC, and to a lesser extent Marvel.

But while it’s true they all depicted baldness as an indication of the ascent to “pure cerebration”, they also usually depicted such “living human brains” as having tiny, underdeveloped baby-like bodies.

And while it’s true they also often had fierce expressions on their faces, this was usually to indicate intense concentration, whereas all the baldies you’ve provided us with look more like British skinhead soccer hooligan bootboys!

Come to think of it, though, many of these brainy scientific types who go round imperiously denouncing their “inferiors” for showing interest in “laughable” research fields like cryptozoology and ufology, behave exactly like intellectual versions of British skinhead soccer hooligan bootboys, so maybe you’re onto something!
