well, you know how those saltwater fish, that like lived in an isolated saltwater lake (which gradually de-salted itself), became the same fish, but freshwater? well here's my idea:

Make a big test place, it would be airtight, it would be a small neighborhood...

Life would be normal, money would be irrelivant, (or kept to make it feel more "at home"), and they would use less and less oxygen, say -3% oxygen every year, (more carbon dioxide), and let this process continue for 5-10 generations, and by the time this has happend, humans would be able to live off significantly less oxygen...therefor allowing us to live in places with less oxygen (mars?), and less susceptable to pollution...

or!

you could eventually cut off all oxygen and see if we could get a human species that could live with NO OXYGEN!...that would be incredibly helpfull...

fell free to flame/add to the idea

(i expect flames on human rights, experimentation, and some other crap)
