What will we look like in 100,000 years...?

Artist Nickolay Lamm and Dr. Alan Kwan, a computational geneticist, think we'll all look like this:

So we'll need big eyes to see in the dark, and we'll need darker skin to keep out the UV radiation.

But I'm not buying it: If you live a long way from the Sun then UV won't be a problem, and if you have the technology to build a colony on another planet then surely you have the technology to light it properly? Nice idea guys, but I think you've just unconsciously channeled Paul the space alien:
