The Human Race to split

Postby Carl Buck » Oct 25th, '07, 11:47



Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years time, an expert has said.

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

I think this has already started in certain parts of the UK :wink:

Yeah right

Like the human race will be around in 100,000 years.


Plus I have all the physical aspects of this 'Ugly, squat, goblin like creature' with the mental aspects of the genetic over class. So maybe I am the segway?

"Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features."


Let's not stand in the way of evolutionary progress... :lol:

No, but seriously, it's b*ll*cks. I know girls like to giggle and taunt with "size matters", but how many people do you know who are actually denied a partner because of the size of their wang? Just because our culture says bigger is better... it's a long jump to start suggesting that this will actually make a difference as to who gets to procreate. There are just as many podgy balding little peckers out there passing on their chromosomes as Gregory Peck look-a-likes.

Also... "Racial differences will be ironed out due to interbreeding" - how much baloney is that?! Even in the most cosmopolitan of cities it's glaringly obvious that people are more likely to choose a partner of their own race.


I think the last line tells you everything you need... "He carried out the report for men's satellite TV channel Bravo." :roll:

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.

Physically, they would start to appear more juvenile. Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.



Sounds like a Friday night out in Dartford to me

I think that the dependancy of fast food will 'get' the Human race' before technology does.

The upright one look about 40 stones too light for what 100,000 years will bring :lol:
