Evolutionary Prospects Look Good In The Short Term; Weird In The Long Term

According to Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics, mankind will split into two sub-species.  Basically, there will be two forms of "man" —

a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass …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.

They’ll be called, respectively, "humans" and "hasterts".

But that’s a long time off — about 100,000 years.  What can we expect in the nearer future — say, in the next 1000 years?

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.

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

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