If you think that human evolution has just stopped, you're wrong. Not only are we still in the middle of a vivid evolution, but in 100,000 years, we will be split into two species: a sexy, intelligent power-detaining elite and an underclass of low intelligence, ugly dwarf humanoids.
This is what Dr. Oliver Curry, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, believes that sexual selection will induce in humans. His theory says that humans will reach a peak of physical development, when they will be 183 cm and 214 cm tall and will have a lifespan of 120 years, by the year 3,000. Advances in cosmetic surgery and body modification techniques will have as a result a homogeneous human type. Racial differences could be erased by the racial cross, resulting
a brown dominant skin color.
"Physical features will be driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility that men and women have evolved to look for in potential mates. Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, while women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts.", reveals Curry on the television channel "Bravo".
But 10,000 years after the peak, a downfall will follow and sexual selection will split humans in two species. "People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species. The descendants of the genetic upper class will be tall, slim, healthy and attractive from the underclass humans. But in the near future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between six ft and seven ft tall while life-spans will have extended to 120 years." said Curry.
The addiction to technology will change our look, while the overuse of antibiotics and other drugs will make our immune system weaker. Humans will look increasingly more like undeveloped children.
"While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance of technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other. After that, things could get ugly, with the possible emergence of genetic 'haves' and 'have-nots.'", said Curry in his report for channel 'Bravo'.
Does this remind you of H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine" novel, with his Eloi, the ruling elite of rich and intelligent creatures and Morlocks, ugly beasts working underground for the benefit of the first?
Some say our ancestors evolved in this manner several times during our evolution. An example is the chimp: the common species is a robust, violent, hunting ape, while the bonobo is a slimmer, peaceful and sex addicted vegetarian. Australopithecus presented gracile species and large, robust species.
100,000 year ago, there was a relative of the orangutan, Gigantopithecus, thrice the size of a gorilla, contemporaneous with the modern species.

| Comment #1 by: tulipfield on 03 Nov 2007, 21:15 GMT |  reply to this comment | I think that the story is pure fantasy based on todays fact that technlogy is already taking over natural selection, to be more clear I think we will determine what we look like ourselves and that will happen sooner then we think.
The saying that there will be somekind of pygmee underclass is just ridiculous, its prooven that size does not matter concerning intelligence, this view is old fashioned nazi thinking.
And what to say what happens over 10.000 years I think we evolved then into something non earth like, we will travel the Universe by yet unknown technology and dont need bodies at all anymore.
Consciousness, insight, telepathy these will be the major future value keys. |
