Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.

You’re right they will vote for one party, led by a demagogue who will command the legislative process but won’t kill the golden goose. Then they will live happily ever after at a low level for all.
The alternative would be for the ‘smarts’ to get to another country and barricade the walls.

Yea but then all the Genetic Upper Class girls will watch TV shows where the Dim-Witted are made out to be noble brave heroes and they will screw it all up again.

LOL - the elites wish this was true... it’s not. Machines will do the rough work and the meaningful work... Culture suicide might be the outcome... Ahhh wait, Eloi with no Morlocks... could be...

Good thought applied to the ‘smarts’. They will abort themselves because they won’t have the time for children, maybe expect one and a dog.

They can't screw it up if they're not allowed to vote.

Without a free market and a free society that is almost inevitable. The Medieval period in Europe produced something like that. It is not irreversible.

The idea of human "oneness," is pure foolishness. At no time in the history of Mankind, has Man acted as a unified concept. There are, and have been throughout the historic period, profound differences in the types of mankind. And in my estimation, you insult the varieties by trying to pretend that they are interchangeable.

This concern reflects--again in my opinion--an extreme form of Humanism. It reflects a facet of the Egalitarian/Humanist/Collectivist compulsion to seek uniformity, and is an implied premise in the lunacy that has been used to recruit Marxists, Bolsheviks, Nazis and American pseudo "Liberals," into pursuing different approaches to forced uniformity, in lands under their control. (For example, see Compulsion For Uniformity.)

I used to try to drive the essential point home to student "liberals," when speaking to such groups, by suggesting that if you were lost in a dessert, you would certainly prefer a Bushman from the Kalahari to a Cultural Anthropologist from Yale or Columbia, for a guide, if you wanted to survive.

It is no insult to anyone to recognize qualities that make them rare or unique. The need to pretend that we are all alike is neurotic and indefensible in reason--and is a terrible impediment to human progress.

These futurists and their vein imaginings.

Only God can create kinds. And His work of creation was rested on the seventh day.

The next creative effort will be when He creates the new heaven and new earth. But this will not happen until the end of the millennium (Christ’s thousand year reign), when He judges the dead, those who wish to be judged on basis of their works, and casts them into the lake of fire. See Revelation 20 and 21.

He carried out the report for men's satellite TV channel Bravo.

Apparently, Bravo TV has also evolved very differently in Britain and the US.

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

Sexual partners? What's that?

In the future children will be conceived in test-tubes and parents will be able to choose the characteristics their children will have. Moneyed people may have an advantage in buying "good genes" for their children, but future humans won't be dependent on who they mate with for their children's genetic make-up.

We already have a term for “dim-witted underclass”. It’s called GOPe.

Silly rabbit. Don’t you know that evolutionary science rejects the very notion of human speciation? Only non-human animals speciate. Evolutionary biology preaches total equality and freed the slaves and ended jim crow by defeating once and for all the evil first eleven chapters of Genesis [/sarcasm].
