can humans have wings?

I was just watching a show about sky divers and now I'm wondering what if humans can grow wings. Can humans add wings through DNA before they are born? If they can then this would change the whole evolution in lets say 10,000 years from now. It would make it easier for humans to survive from predators and or hunt for food with the possibility of most of the land would be flooded with water in the future. Just want to hear your thoughts on this. Its a crazy imagination because at least I got you thinking about this question :D

    Unless you want to give up your arms and hands, you would have to grow another pair of appendages, a huge crest on the sternum, and several times the amount of muscle that we have now. Then, you would also have to grow an extra girdle to support the extra bone and muscle.

    In other words, don’t hold your breath.

    That would be insane, but a damn crazy good idea at the same time!

    No because birds are not a part of human evolution . The only dna you can add to ours is chimp dna.

    you’ll need an extra bone,
    3 feet of deep muscle and a wingspan of the size of a fighter jet to take off
