Except that flight requires a LOT of specialization -- one has to have a large area/mass ratio and all that.

I had mentioned improved biosynthesis because that can be added without much difficulty, at least if one knows how to get the appropriate genes expressed in some suitable place, like the liver.

How about a dual purpose spine for long Hog rides! (no pig orgasm jokes, please).
Right now, I'd settle for one that would let me ride at all. Further, anything approaching a 30 minute orgasm (henchforth known as 'Pig's Paradise') would probably result in my tired, old ass falling off.

(sigh)

Edited to add: Another modification that might be advantagous would be an enlongated finger such as found on Aye-ayes. We could pick our noses much more effectivly!

I think that camoflage skin like a chameleon, coupled with a very efficient digestive tract would be nice.

Overall, I like the general changes proposed in Klingons. Redundant organs, reinfoced skeletal structure, bony plates under the skin over vital areas. Yehaa!

There are enough desperate teenagers out there that have evolved this trait.... The problem is that they are the least likely to reproduce.

Chameleonic color-changing skin. if the human race had that, there'd be a helluva lot less to fight over. Oh, and we could tan instantly.

Ok, Psyhic Powers!
