Reply to: Human species 'may split in two'

It's a bit like a heaven and hell scenario - who wants to go to heaven when the angels all look like civil servants?
Edit: Then again, who wants to go to hell where they'd all look like they come from Dewsbury?

The Angels do not look like Civil Servants - well certainly the Archangels do not.

As for Hell - A man dies and finds himself in Hell.

Satan approaches him and asks him if he is settling in all right - to which he replies

'Oh yes thanks - actually I rather like it here - I'm from Basingstoke'

in the distant future you might have to stoop a bit in clubs, wear glasses and appear timid, to attract women in the first place.

You should be OK, but in the distant future you might have to stoop a bit in clubs, wear glasses and appear timid, to attract women in the first place.

I'm the aggressive rugged Alpha male macho type (although not a woman beater). gifted with intellect (and modesty) so I'm ok

Attractive women will often choose the moronic knuckle dragging wife beater, for reasons that will baffle scientists for generations to come.

For this reason these two collections of people will unfortunately remain intermingled. And worse, the smart segment will continue to be diluted by the dim. We've reached the top, this is as much as the human race will achieve.

This could be genetic, from Stone Age times when the physically stronger, more aggressive chap would prove to be the alpha male amongst a group, able to protect and provide for her and her child.

However in the post-Western industrial collapse world we could see the opposite, most of the posters on here look more like the goblin-like creature and women will adapt to find the wealthy hobbit with rare IT skills, or chin-less civil servant with a job for life, as the new Alpha Male.

Granted, this could take thousands of years of evolution, so don't hold your breath.

HG Wells' 'The Time Machine' was about this. In the far future the effete evolve into The Eloi, stupid and beautiful, and the workers evolve into the Morlocks who live under ground and eat the Eloi.

Have you seen the chavs on the local council estate recently?

I think it's already happened. We have a species living amongst us today that is so different to us genetically that we are probably more closely related to apes than them. They are shorter, fatter, less intelligent and appear to have different interests and have a lack of map reading ability and breasts

So no beer in the year 3000 then??

Oy!!!

I resemble that remark

and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.
