What animal class could come after mammals? Or maybe a 4th class of mammels. Its been a while when a new one appeared, and probably right now one is developing, but its too subtile for us to see.

Mammals are older than avians, dude.
Mammals appeared 200mya
Birds came out 150mya and the true birds only appeared after the ice age 30mya

Interesting. Still, this isbt definetly the end of evolution, and im curious if we could predict what will come, or maybe we alrwady know something.

Evolution takes millions of years. Our entire written history is barely 10,000 years.

We can predict physics but certainly not evolution.
Genetic engineering and selective breeding is cheating. None of those designs could ever hope to survive as efficiently as us.

I tought maybe we, humans, could evolve to become in the future a different category, maybe by learning to grew embrions outside our bodies and by mutating genes thus removing sexes alltogheter or by just leaving earth resulting in a totalky different outcome over many ears, the main trait being high intelligence. Or maybe we ll find a way to create life mixed with robotic parts.

Classes are just names, if we lived in the time when mammals diverged from reptiles we could just as well be saying when does a new class come along while grouping everything under our own class. Seeing as mammals are defined by having tits, from 50 million years from now perspective you might as well start going with placenta and marsupials as separate things

Quoted By:

I would argue that so long as humanity is reigning, no evolution would take place.
If you haven't noticed, much of the branches came out and dominated after mass extinctions

Ice Age killed the reptiles and allowed mammals and birds
Great Dying destroyed the jawless and armored fishes and gave rise to the vertebrate fishes.
Ordovician extinction allowed reptiles to rise
And the first extinction brought by Cynanobacteria allowed the first instance of plants.

So long as humans are alive and ominating, Earth's biodiversity would not change much because the biggest factor for evolution is the environmental pressures that kills off unfavorable genes. Humans keeping the Earth in stable conditions prevents that. (climate change is nowhere near the prehistoric mass extinctions)
New species may arise but not new braches.

This is your brain on popsci. And you're a tripfag too

True. Humans are keeping endangered speecies alive despite being unatural. Also humans mating with disabled and less fortunate people will slow the evolutionary process ( such as passing bad genes ) . Nature is pretty racist
