Human species 'may split in two'
Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said. Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.
The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.
People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.
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 creatures.

“genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass “
Already happened. We call the dim-witted “liberals”.

Yeah, but liberal and conservative are still nurture and not nature. Until it actually becomes genetic its not really different species.I don't agree with this. How do you say that a logical brain is the result of nurture?

this is the same junk science that was preached against the Irish and blacks a hundred years ago by the Eugenics in UK universities.
What is overlooked: The US (and Australia) is full of the dregs of humanity that the eugenicists wanted to eliminate via birth control.
What happened? Good nutrition increased IQ and height, and people were given a chance to be free, not obey their betters.

Check it out:Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. Gosh, this idea came from England? Who'd have anticipated that? :') "Physical, mental, and moral peculiarities go with blood and not with language. In the United States the negroes have spoken English for generations; but no one on that ground would call them Englishmen, or expect them to differ physically, mentally, or morally from other negroes." -- Thomas Huxley, "Darwin's Bulldog" [Erik Trinkaus, Pat Shipman, The Neandertals pp 46-47] To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

It split into two distinct species long ago:
Homo rottencuss
Homo domesticuss
Interbreeding is still possible between the two, sometimes even producing fertile hybrid offspring.

Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features Hmmm. I wonder if this guy is dealing with a deficit of contact with the fairer sex?
From the BBC story, it appears he has no idea he has duplicated Wells' idea from a century ago. So, whatever is occupying his time not spent with women, it ain't reading.

IIRC, as long as they can have fertile offspring, they’re the same species.

expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. No names, but are some of the characteristics of the latter low literacy rate, high prevalence of consanguinity...
