Human race will 'split into two different species'
 

This should be interesting, it reminded me of the original movie Time Machine.

"The Time Machine" is what I thought of when I read the article too.
And if you've ever been to a gay bar on a Saturday night, you know it's true already. hahaha

i can see this.....also, i can see that I'll be in the former group, and spexx in the latter.

God the Daily Mail is starting to veer into the Enquirer.

*laughs*

:bs: :bs: :bs:

There's just so much of it, I don't know where to start, or if I should even bother.
I have only read the newspaper article. Taking that as my target:
:bs: The guy has just ripped off HG Wells, thats all.
:bs: To be making predictions about the future is well enough, but this guy seems to have completely omitted any consideration of us being bitten on the arse by the environment we have thoroughly trashed. How beautiful are the Eloi going to be with birth defects from all the pollution? and are we going to fall into his predicted comfort zone when we are too busy fighting over the remaining scraps?
:bs: He presumes there will be beautiful people and ugly people and never the twain shall bonk. Rubbish. There is and will be a continual spectrum from hotties to uglies, and although the extreme cases will rarely bonk, there will be enough bonking-up and -down to keep the gene pool mixed.
:bs: he also predicts that the human race will first become genetically homogenized. No, say I. Individuals will still - at least fairly often - choose partners similar to themselves. Geographic location will not be completely overcome. And often the mix of genes a child inherits will deliver unusual results. These factors will contribute to keeping a wide range of diversity in the spectrum of our species.
Meh, I'm not spending more time on this junk.
:p

Note:

Ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhhhh don't stop!!!

Should this go in the Mills and Boon thread?

it already has , posters and Lurkers

Come on man! Roll with it. Perky boobies, bigger junk. It could be good for everyone. We need to make this work.

Blonde haired blue eyed perty breasts, stand over here... wait, didn't someother group try this once?

He does predict perky boobies but not blond hair or blue eyes, in fact he predicts those will disappear. I hope I have saved you from Goodwin's law.
Trust me, there are plenty of non-blond ways of being hot. :) :)

For clarity, the real thing wrong with this reasoning is that being sexy is what causes you to get laid, but what causes you to have lots of offspring is either poverty, lack of access to contraception (see poverty), low intelligence and (special case) religious views on breeding. Ugly people have plenty of babies. Just look around you next time you're out - where do you think those uglies came from?. This. is. the. future. Damn. :p

Yea, I am not really into blondes anyway. Brains are more important, and let's just say that the two often don't mix. But you are right. I see the result on a daily basis, I work in health care.

this is where you know he's making it up. cosmetic surgery is not hereditary. you may fool your mate....but you can't fool your offspring.

Did you really just say that? ....I mean....not like, as a joke, but....actually saying blondes are dumb?

I thought it was NASCAR that caused it?

the poltroon! he wouldnt dare~!

Somehow I'm not impressed.

I would never suggest that.... such a thing...

she's brushing her hair?

it got messed up

or maybe it's got glass in it.

Yeah, this guy's an assclown. Not only do lower income families (in the west, which is clearly what he's basing his 'hypothesis' on) have far more children on average, he's also forgetting that every couple generations or so, some country or another has a revolution where the have-nots oust the haves and replace them, thus switching the genetic pools.

Also, what is attractive now was not attractive even 30 or 40 years ago. Try finding a hair-chested man without a shirt on MTV. Try finding a woman over 115 lbs for that matter. 200 years ago it was more attractive to be fluffy and pale, and now the reverse is true.

And finally, last but definitely not least, is the gross (yet very common) misinterpretation of Darwin. Traits that develop are not what WE might view as advantageous, we don't get to choose. Traits that are developed are ones that make a species better suited to an environment. Just watch the latest horror flick to see this. Who's always the first to go? The blond with enormous breasts.

Sidenote: Does a scientist/philosopher with otherwise impressive credentials lose all his credibility when he poses a ridiculous idea such as this one, or the fellow who said blacks are inferior in the other thread? I think so.

What does he mean will split?

Related healthcare humor:

Subject: The Redhead

A young redhead goes into the doctor's office and says that her body
hurts wherever she touches it.

"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."

She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony.

She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams.

Everywhere she touches makes her scream.

The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead are you?"

"No," she says. "I'm actually a blonde."

"I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is broken."

Now that made me laugh! thanks.

Why only two different types? Each supgroup could be a new animal , and then we would kill each other out...more so anyway

Yep, him and Mick Jagger! :3_eyes:

So, we're all turning into anime?

My theory: hermaphrodites. One day, we'll all have the best of both worlds. That way one can impregnate oneself, thus ensuring one's good genes continue on without taking the chance of being polluted by another's.


What? I'm not as credible as this guy???

sounds like you had a lot of time to think after someone told you to go fuck yourself?
