If you wait on genetics to progress humanity, I hope you have patients. Utilization of environmental/social manipulation is the only answer that I see as being viable. Implementation of technology in an environmetally friendly way is our best chance for survival.

Both the approaches are equally good for human progress. However, the environmental approach petches good results. Because genetical approach bring genetical diseases or sometimes unwanted havoc in the society. The environment always bring the society together with greeny atmosphere and nature's beauty and the in-built qualities of humane can be grown with humanitarian touching and the progress of humanity grows and society upgraded with the competitive educating world.

We do need both, yet it is hard to dodge the claim that unless you take care of the gene pool, nothing else is going to work in the long run.

Unfortunately, the only attempt to make genetics the controlling factor in building a new society was the Third Reich. The welfare of the allegedly Master Race was made a higher value than concepts of egalitiarianisn and fair treatment of others.

The result was appalling atrocities. Innocent people were slaughtered for reasons of what the Nazis considered inferior genes. The world quite rightly reacts with horror and revulsion to this misapplication of eugenics.

Yet the question remains. Should we humans take responsibility for the future evolution of the human species? Is it possible to develop a benign and just plan to reinforce human progress instead of leaving our DNA to the vagaries of chance?

It makes little sense to just ignore what we know to be true - that choices of genetic combination do indeed affect the future of humanity. Somehow we need to decide what we mean by "human progress," then work toward it using every means at our disposal.

Think about your question. If you sit back and wait for human progress to be made by any form of genetic change, you may be waiting for a while. Environmental manipulation can be planned and executed and modified as needed. The problem is to have people work together and if that is what you are waiting for you might as well wait on the genetic components to kick in.

My personal opinion on this question is that humans have reached a point where we are able to use our brains to invent ways to adapt to nature. But currently, there are only a handful of people working to solve problems, while the rest of the human population goes on living routine lives. Meanwhile, the average joe has been becoming more cynical, depressed, or apathetic. The only way that I see that society can progress is for a change of thinking. If only more hope could be instilled into the minds of people, and they started being active in doing things beneficial to society instead of complaining about politics all day.

Both together and no one in excess for Human Progress and Future of Human Civilization.

A biosocial approach. Not everything can be explained in terms of genetics. Nor can eveything be explained by the environment, culture, or society. A wholistic approach will be best!

IT SHOULD BE BOTH TOGETHER AS WITH GENETIC APPROACH ,WE REMAIN WITH THE WORLD,REMAIN WITH THE GENERATION,GET NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESENT GROWTH IN SCIENCE AND YES THE MOST IMPORTANT..................MANIPULATION OF GENES HELPS US TO GET IMPROVED OR CHANGED PHYSICAL AND MANY MORE CHARACTERS...........................AND WITH ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH ,WE GET TO KNOW WHAT CHALLENGES NATURE CAN GIVE US AND MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING.................LIKE TSUNAMI!!!
