Question: is it true that eventualy humans will evovle into ducks.

That is a good question? I don’t think we will but you never know anything for sure. We split off on the evolutionary road from birds a very long time ago. Birds like ducks are very different to mammals like humans and primates. Our ancestors were ape-like animals. Evolution probably happens so slowly that in one lifetime as it stands now we won’t get to see it in an obvious way in humans as our life cycles are too short. However, in things with shorter life cycles, even plants, we may start to see changes as a result of evolutionary pressures like temperature rises from global warming. Maybe a strain of a certain plant may grow better at the higher temperature and so ones with the same genes will survive better and give beneficial genes to offspring to drive change in the gene pool and characteristics of that plant.
