Human race will 'split into two different species'

The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.

100,000 years into the future, sexual selection will mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

Eloi and Morlocks?

With as much plastic surgery as goes on now, natural selection by beauty doesn’t have a chance. The next generation of children will look so little like their parents that — until their own surgery — they’ll think they were adopted.

I think I saw this on an episode of the Twilight Zone... back in the 60's. lol

Then they will be the goblin like creatures.

Will my character will get a saving throw on opening a goblin treasure chest?

[Diogenesis]

Changes exist already heralding two species.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Excellent.

[Gamecock]

Did someone say goblin???

JACKIE: Miss Wilkie, your tobacco company has turned this beautiful specimen, into a horrible twisted freak.

KRAMER: Who could love me?

WILKIE: I disagree. In fact, I feel Mr. Kramer projects a rugged masculinity.

JACKIE: Rugged? The man’s a goblin. He’s only been exposed to smoke for four days. By the time this case gets to trial, he’ll be nothing more than a shrunken head.

WILKIE: All right, Mr. Chiles. You’ll have our offer by tomorrow. Good day, gentlemen. (She exits)

KRAMER: Bye-bye. Jackie, you did it. We’re rich.

JACKIE: You better believe it. Jackie’s cashin’ in on your wretched disfigurement.

Yeah, good luck predicting even a decade into the future—let alone 100,000 years.

On the flip side, it seems to be that human beings have turned natural selection on its head in the last century or so. The more intelligent “elite” seem to have few (or no) children and won’t stand up for their culture. The poor and stupid seem to have plenty. And everyone who shows abberant behavior is coddled. If anything it seems to me that this trend will end up degenerating the human race sooner than later. There was a Mike Judge movie about this a few years ago (”Idiotocracy”) that made the point pretty humorously.

Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.

Impossible unless they also outlaw plastic surgeons.

I predict the looter guy makes an appearence on this thread...

Yeah, we have seen the videos of the Finsbury Mosque demonstrators already.

Democrats will do no work, because, the Conservatives will do all of the hard work, and provide everything in this society.

Don't have to wait for this to happen.

[Larry Lucido]

KRAMER: So Jerry, my millennium party’s really coming together. Will people be able to breathe underwater in the year two-thousand?

JERRY: Some of us.

KRAMER: (crumpling a piece of paper) I don’t wanna exclude anybody.

Human race is going to last 100,000 years ??????????????????????????????????

NO WAY JOSE

[Moby Grape]

“IMO it’s already happened. Conservatives and the ratz.”

Humans and democrats.

This guy is plagerizing from H. G. Wells "Time Machine"

Morlocks versus Eloi

Biological theories from a school of economics should be treated the same as economic theory from a school of Dentistry.
