Human race will split into two different species: report

In 1900, experts made predictions for the 20th century. They got much of it wrong, but a lot right 8212; housework never became fun, but we did get the Internet and the nuclear bomb.

If the accuracy of 1900 is a guide, researchers in Britain might be right this time. They have predicted that the human race may be split into two different species in 100,000 years8217; time 8212; an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures.

8220;The human race would reach its physical peak by the year 3000. People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species. The descendants of the genetic upper class will be tall, slim, healthy and attractive from the underclass humans.

8220;But in the near future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between six ft and seven ft tall while life-spans will have extended to 120 years.

8220;Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises. Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts,8221; according to lead researcher Oliver Curry of London School of Economics.

Curry has also said that 10,000 years later reliance on technology will have begun to dramatically change the appearance of the human race.

8220;While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance of technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, 8221; he said.
