I remember seeing some Discovery documentary about a kind of dinosaur that was thought to be 'done' with evolving, and the species ended up developing deformations and sicknesses, killing all of them off. I've always wondered if something like that could happen to humanity. If there isn't some disaster that kills off nearly all life on the planet in the next few million years, that is.
