That looks to me like the present? Orangutan vs. Yeti, South eastern Himalayas........
Is This What Humans Will Look Like In Millions Of Years From Now?

I think we'll evolve by way of our own design at this point. Integration with robotics and computer interfaces/replacements.

Future is exciting on many timelines where we avoid the third world war. I believe we are looking at over 10 billion inhabitants in a few years. Also, cities over 100 million will become common soon. Hard to say what new technologies will spring up. Expect major changes due to genetic engineering.
People no longer fear lions in the jungle, but we live in a concrete jungle now. Predators are real and they do well in cities over a certain size.
Look at how cities grow. They tend to grow up. Buildings get taller and bigger in size.

The UN projects human population to hit 10 billion by 2020:

sounds very intresting but, its not necessary that we will look like this , as michio kaku says we humans have stopped evolving
and who would like to look like these creatures.
and who would like to look like these creatures.

Just as an aside Michio Kaku delivers some of the best discussions on sicence and evolution etc I have ever seen. This guy is great!

We haven't stopped evolving, we are slowly evolving. Take a look at this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Craniums_of_Homo.svg/524px-Craniums_of_Homo.svg.png
Skull 2 is our earliest human ancestor, Australopithecus. Its actually cited as being the mutation, that caused us to split off from monkeys and become homo sapiens at a later point down the evolutionary road. They lived about 2 million years ago. Skull 3 is our ancestor, which is so aptly named, homo erectus, meaning standing upright human. They lived about 1.8 million years ago. Then we get into our most recent ancestors. Skull 4, which is Neanderthal, which is our closely related ancestor. They lived between 350,000 and 600,000 years ago. Finally we get into Skull 5 which I believe is just a Skull 6 which is more broken down.
Skull 6 is us. Modern humans. Which came about 200,000 years ago. You see the length of time, with evolution? It doesn't happen instantly, we wont wake up tomorrow as a new species. It takes time, we are slowly evolving, we don't notice it, but we are. Everything is evolving, all living organisms evolve.
That is the problem people seem to have with evolution, they claim that its not happening because its instant, when its not instant. There is documented scientific research out there, just as I displayed, that humans evolve over a very long period of time. Hundreds of thousands of years from now, barring we haven't exterminated ourselves, we will have evolved and will look back at ourselves and it will show the evolution.
