A scientist says human race will split into two species. Oh Really? This is so fable-like, it’s hard to know whether it’s serious. But I think it is.
The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.
100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.
The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.
So, everyone will be hotties in another 1000 years, assuming we haven’t died off (a big assumption). But it’s downhill from there. OK. Good to know.
Worth visiting for the pictures alone. 100 points for using his imagination.

That is not quite the way things ended in the book I read on this subject…
H.G. Wells
The Time Machine
The Eloi initially controlled the world but slowly, eventually they became too content and complacent as a species and the Morlocks feasted on them like sheep.
Beauty is still in the eye of the beholder.
“In paranoia, the primary function of the enemy is to provide a definition of the real that makes
paranoia necessary. We must therefore begin to suspect the paranoid structure itself as a device by which consciousness maintains the polarity of self and nonself, thus preserving the concept of
identity.” LEO BERSANI
