Human Species May Split In Two

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the if-we-don't-destroy-ourselves-first dept.

gEvil (beta) writes "According to an article at the BBC, an evolutionary theorist in London suggests that humanity may split into two sub-species within the next 100,000 years. From the article: '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.'" No missing link here, we already have the troll-like humans to prove it.

    While it was very clear that the GP was being sarcastic, I do have the same opinion that the US is not the perfect place.
