If the classic TV show sci-fi trope of eating pills for food had became a reality, would humans overtime no longer be able to chew? (lemmy.world)

evolutionary wise, very far into the future would we develop different mouths and very few teeth?

Pills as food wouldn't ever catch on, people like too much about food to just settle on eating pills for the rest of their lives. Even though there is a niche who enjoy huel.

Humans have decoupled themselves from evolution in the typical sense.

Survival/gene-elimination cues don't really apply anymore since we have hospitals and can take car of eachother.

I think the major remaining factor for our evolution now will either be self guided, or it will be who ever can have sex the most.
