Its a very good theory and one I have pondered many times. I could see the Grey body as a possible future incarnation of humans after millions of
years of more evolution. One thing that seems pretty certain about evolution is "If you dont use it you lose it" Alot of our current state is no
longer needed thanks to technology.
No Hair - we dont need hair we have clothes for that, male pattern bladness might be evolution at work phasing that out.
Larger Eyes- we are a very visual species so since we depend so much on it and use it so much I could see eyes becoming bigger and better in the
future.
Bigger heads- Well the human brain is indeed growing larger but there is a natural limit to how far it can grow and still allow a child to pass
through the birth canal. Normally that would be a limit in natural evolution. But we already have the tech to get around natural births C-sections.
Skinny bodies- Well this is a hard one, physical strength is no longer vital to human survival but it seems to be a desired trait in mating. Also our
diets are making us bigger rather then smaller. But in a few million years its very possible that our diets and taste in attractive traits could
change.

I personally think this is a result of them wearing a full body suit (a second skin space suit). Aliens or Future humans conducting medical tests in
the buff seems silly to me
