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

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

The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.

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.

unfortunately, they neglect to mention any proof or reasoning behind any of these assumptions.

Till then I'm staying healthy, wealthy and wise then I'm buying my way into that Genetic upper class; tired of watching other people have all the fun.

The dim-witted are inbreeding rapidly.

by that time we'll be displaced by our technology, so it's kind of moot.

Yeah, cuz we know that it's all the tall, beautiful people who are the smartest. Hollywood's full of brilliant geniuses. What's going to keep those idiots from continuing to breed their idiocy with each other? And how good looking are most geniuses considered? Are they expecting either of these conditions to change?

Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avacado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you
Alright

What about the tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative part?- genetic upper classness stipulation.

the "'underclass' humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures." will probably make better music.
