Human race will 'split into two different species'
The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.
100,000 years into the future, sexual selection will mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed. The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000. ...more |

Pure fantasizing without a bit of data or even a hypothesis; it's just going to happen. "Top scientist" hah.

I tend to agree with a theory put forward by Larry Niven on this subject. He suggested that human nature precludes human evolution as the strongest people tend to hazard death in wars to protect those too weak to fight, usually before they've had a chance to add their superior genes to the pool.

Wars are seldom very devastating to a population, historical casuality numbers are almost always vastly exaggerated and civilians often fare worse than soldiers. So I'd flush that theory.
Biotechnology will probably steer human evolution in the future imo. Designer babies for the wealthy at first and then for the middle class as it becomes more affordable. |
