| Read today an interesting article in BBC news about how human species may split in two. For me, such issues regarding evolution are really eye opening for me – so indeed human beings are still in the process of evolution where the strong prevails and the weak perish. Some particularly interest quotes from the news article: “People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species” – So today we are pretty much open to any sex we can get? “The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.” – Why doesn’t the underclass simply wither and go extinct? “men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises” – Er, so size does matter in natural selection… “Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features” – That is what I like! “Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people.” – Coffee anyone? No more yellow men! “Social skills, such as communicating and interacting with others, could be lost, along with emotions such as love, sympathy, trust and respect. People would become less able to care for others, or perform in teams.” – Seems like some of us have already pretty much arrived into the future of human evolution. |
