I don't want to get into this too deeply but I read that Astronauts that spent time in space returned an inch taller than they were before. One would tend to think that if a person lived their lives in zero gee they would indeed result in being taller than their gravity handicapped counterparts.

Lev,

This isn't evolution. Example? Do you know that poepl that live in colder climates tend to be taller? Or that people if warmer climates mature faster?
Cold climates cause people to mature slower, so their growing period is longer, while in hotter climates people mature faster.

So people being taller and living longer in low grav isn't a new step of evolution. A new step in Evolutions is if humans went to live in zero g or very low g enviorment and developed flexible tows for better grip.



I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Ok. I take it you didn't mean drastic changes in the body structure but rather small ones due to the enviroment which aren't genetically. Then you might be right. I had fun writing my posting nonetheless.
