Evolution cultist, what are humans evolving into next?

Answer 1

Into Atheist!
Then into crispy critters.

Answer 2

Humans are unique because we are the only animals whose behavior is determined less by our genes (nature) and more by what we learn (nurture). Human evolution in the short term is determined by cultural evolution which follows the laws of natural selection except that memes (learned things) are selected for. Atheism is a meme that is growing. Theism is a meme that is dying. In the future, most humans will be atheists. It's inevitable.

I believe goblins are our future

The future of human evolution? (Click to embiggen)When we look to the future, we look to perfection.

Fans of Star Trek see humanity seamlessly working together, while the film Gattaca, with its improbably good-looking cast, suggests we will become more beautiful.

But one evolution expert has come up with another theory on what some of us will become – dim-witted, squat, ugly goblin-like creatures. Not unlike Gollum from Lord Of The Rings, in fact.

Dr Oliver Curry, of the Darwin @LSE Centre at the London School of Economics, says the Gollums will be part of a genetic 'underclass', while an 'upper class' will be slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent and creative.



Such as sharp divide was predicted by HG Wells in his 1885 book, The Time Machine, where the ape-like Morlocks preyed on the fragile Eloi.

But Dr Curry's study predicts man peaking by the year 3000 with humans becoming giants up to 7ft (2.13m) tall.

Race will be a thing of the past and everybody will be 'coffee' coloured and live to 120 years.

Men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, have squarer jaws... and bigger penises, Dr Curry believes.

Women will develop large, clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, even features and smooth, lighter, hairless skin.

But, after 10,000 years, reliance on technology will see our genes degenerating and some humans could begin to resemble domesticated animals, or even children.

In about 100,000 years, sexual selection will breed greater and greater inequality and see the emergence of the two HG Wells-style sub-species.

Dr Curry said: 'The future of Man will be a story of the good, the bad and the ugly.

'While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover due to over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along.'

Dr Curry predicts that eventually this will result in people splitting into two categories – either the healthy superhuman elite or the genetically disadvantaged Gollums.

Sexual selection will allow people to be choosier about who they mate with, thereby reinforcing the distinctions.

Answer 4

there won't be any time to evolve any further if we filthy, greedy, overly prolific, self absorbed humans don't stop destroying our planet's Eco systems.


but what do you care? no doubt you're expecting to be escorted off the Earth by Jesus at any moment. future generations mean nothing to people like you since you imagine you'll be given a new Earth to trash.

Answer 5

Some say that we are stunting evolution by healing the sick and curing disease. Oh wait, my bad, I see that you called evolution a cult so there is no point in talking about working theories with you.

Answer 6

We will evolve into a more intelligent form of human, leaving the Christian foolishness far behind us.

Answer 7

I wouldn't use the word evolve but those who exercise faith in Jesus Christ and do the will of God, creatures of everlasting life, those who don't and believe in evolution, manure on the surface of the earth.

Answer 8

No one knows the answer to that. Check back in a few million years and you may get an answer.

Answer 9

Religious freaks

Answer 10

Well in consider my self a Transhumanist. Its gonna happen you cant avoided.

Answer 11

Is it just my imagination or is a Christian actually referring to science as a cult?

Unbelievable.
