Human species 'may split in two'

Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.

Pretty interesting. Though I am skeptical.

I've often thought about what the future may be like, and reached similar conclusions to this myself, especially with the way things work in the third world. I wouldn't go as extreme as this, but who knows?

There is also the fact that people are already deciding certain aspects of their child's characteristic before birth. Pretty soon they will be able to control far more than just the sex.

Hehe A Gattucca sort of future, where people will be labled as valids and invalids Or perhaps Eloi and Morlocks as the H.G. Wells reference suggests!

Looks like unadulterated bullshit to me.  Evolution as a result of acquired characteristics has been debunked for centuries.  This looks like another take on that Lamarque theory.  Evolution happens as some genetic mutations become more successful than others.  In a modern world where we don't have to run from predators and hunt our own food, that means that lots of random mutations will make it to maturity, and breed.  Nothing is going to get molded by what food we eat, or whether we're part of some elite club, or subservient to anything.  There's too much mobility for that.  The only way we'd get different classes of humanity within the same society is if we engineer them deliberately.

Let me guess, Hoob is the one with the vagina and you're the one that's fucking awesome?

Oh, hey is that gpw?  I didn't recognize you there without your lips on keeb's ass.

[gpw11]

Seriously, why can't we just get along?

[Xessive]

And so it begins...

The war escalated, and inevitably the human race divided into two factions: The Angry Keeblers and The Hoobstabs.

Looks like unadulterated bullshit to me.

My thoughts exactly.

[Xessive]

This is actually making me think about Heroes Imagine if the two sub-species are Normal and Superhuman! Fantasy and fiction are wonderful tools of the mind

I'd be so pissed if I ended up one of the normies.

Haha I thought about it, I'd probably be the normie who tries a little too hard Like Batman or The Punisher! Green Arrow? Nah, I'm not into green tights.
