Due to our controlled life style, central heating in every building and even the streets we lost our need for hair, so over time we just stopped growing it.
Due to machines doing more and more of our manual labour and tedious tasks we were left with only maual inputting information in to a computer, so over time our fingers and toe lengths shrunk.
Having no threats to our species and spending most of our time sitting down led to the height of our species slowly decreasing, alongside a controlled diet due to food scarcity we soon capped out at 5ft tall.
Thanks to the advances of science we could create perfect newborn, to ensure there were no weak links left in our species they sterilized the planet so we couldn't reproduce naturally. Over a few generations they even learnt how to keep the reproduction organs from forming to save money on sterlization.
We slowling changed colour due to the amount of pollution/smog in our skies reducing the amount of light reaching us, along with the lightbulbs in every building across the planet. Lack of real sunlight didn't do wonders for our species, the artificial lights were not enough so our eyes slowly grew to compensate.
