' Human Species May Split In Two'

[Canadiens1131]

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

I, for one, welcome our new non-hunched over overlords.

We'll continue with the exciting conclusion to the much-lauded Oregon Trail trek tomorrow.

You can already see this playing out in my home state of New Jersey.

But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims.

Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.

Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people.

This should be placed in the FYM section.

Watch the hobbits or the " have nots " become slaves and the " haves" wear plain white.

The future's bright , the future's coffee.

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

Something tells me Mr Curry expects his prediction to come true, because he wants it to come true.

(note to self: evolution plays out over hundreds of generations. people in the year 1 AD looked much like people now.)

Egalitarianism is so 20th century, guys. I'd expect legal slavery before this century is out. It's definitely on the cards.

But it's all just business guys, nothing personal.

First rule of evolution: it is random, based on genetic mutation, and inherently unpredictable.

This Oliver Curry character must be one of the dim-witted ones!

 

[Canadiens1131]

How about the Adam Curry character?

Does this in any way affect Chuck Norris? Will there be two Chuck Norrisi? Is that even possible?
