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 creatures

He's right. Compare, eg, Ann Coulter with Janeane Garofalo.

The ‘lower sub-species’ looks like Helen Thomas.

It’s a logical extrapolation of natural selection.

an expert has said

Who is this "expert"? The theory sounds more like a wet dream he had.

Dem wishful thinking *ping*.

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!

Haven't you noticed? We already have two species. One is normal people untainted by the poison of the Left; and the Left, Zombies from the Dawn of the Dead.

Has already happened. Normal people and liberals.

Aside from that it’s a dumb idea.

People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.

Apparently these 'researchers' watch too much television and don't spend much time out with people who actually date.
