      I think that this is pretty unlikley however humans have always dreamed of flying and have invented many ways to get us airbourne from human canonballs, paragliders through to planes and space rockets…. my favourite is people using wingsuits to fly near the ground – that just looks crazy!

      We’d need some really big wings, and in reality, it’s not really a necessity for us as a species. It’d be extra energy wasted, and we’d need to change our overall physical structure too to have the durability to fly for that long! So really, it’s very, very unlikely. But you never know what evolution has in store for us…!
