THE MASTER RACE OF THE FUTURE

An evolutionary theorist from the London School of Economics predicts that human evolution will peak in about a thousand years as we evolve into a coffee-coloured race of tall, beautiful people who live around 120 years. Dr. Oliver Curry also predicts that a human of the year 3000 will be healthier thanks to improved nutrition, lifestyle, and medical knowledge and that future humans will take advantage of technological modifications in order to be more beautiful and improve the size of their gear. But the good times won’t last, as this golden age will be followed by a “monumental genetic hangover” as our immune systems stop functioning thanks to an over-reliance on medicine and our dependence on technology erodes our ability to interact with others and leave us unable to experience sympathy, trust, respect and love. Then, over the next 100,000 years, Dr. Oliver believes that increased sexual selection and freedom of choice in mating will split the human gene pool into two distinct groups with the genetic upper class becoming taller, healthier, more attractive and intelligent, while the underclass devolves into “dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.” (BBC)
