I think we have arrived!!!!
Doing research and found this 2006 item. Felt it is still thought provoking - especially noting it was based on an ECONOMIST's work.

the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures. OK, I'll go first: No Helen Thomas pics PLEASE!

“Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years’ time”
Huh, we already have. Those two subspecies being conservatives and liberals.
One uses their brain and common sense, the other just their brain and a college degree.

Oh sheesh! Guess the "scientists" just finished reading H.G. Wells 1898 fiction "The Time Machine"... the future is inhabited by the working-class brute "Morlocks" and the beautiful, tall, "arisctocratic" elite.

The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creaturesHe's right. Compare, eg, Ann Coulter with Janeane Garofalo.

Well, you almost have it right.
The conservatives use their brains, intelligence, and common sense. The liberals use a feel good policy.

The ‘lower sub-species’ looks like Helen Thomas.
To: sodpoodle
It’s a logical extrapolation of natural selection.

To: diverteach
Yeah, but liberal and conservative are still “nurture” and not “nature”. Until it actually becomes “genetic” it’s not really different species.
As it is, it’s quite common that kids rebel against their parents and change parties, whereas I don’t know too many Border Collies to have an identity crisis and become Greyhounds during college...

The reality is more like this:

And anyway, if they *had* meant the tall, intelligent, etc. to represent themselves, they forgot to notice that abortion is not favored strategy for passing on one's genes.
(Not to mention the Muslim "Demographics is destiny" strategy.)
Cheers!
