Researchers from Toll Free Forwarding created 'Mindy' to show what people could look like by the year 3000, and they predict that due to our reliance on technology our posture will change
But even if they do reproduce, the traits accumulated during one’s lifetime are not passed on!
One of the early theories of how traits are inherited is Lamarckism. A classic example is giraffes - according to Lamarckism, giraffes would spend their lives stretching their neck to reach the the leaves higher up in the trees, so each generation had an even longer necks. But our current understanding of genetics and evolution by natural selection is that Lamarckism is definitely not a significant mode of inheritance for mammals. You can get a little technical and find some Lamarckism (or at least the potential of it) if you look into epigenetics, but no need to go there now.
