Human race will 'split into two different species'

[TheMercenary]

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

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.

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.

Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, according to Curry in a report commissioned for men's satellite TV channel Bravo.

Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts, according to Curry.

*laughs*

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:
The guy has just ripped off HG Wells, thats all.
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?
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.
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

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.

Physical features will be driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility that men and women have evolved to look for in potential mates," says the report, which suggests that advances in cosmetic surgery and other body modifying techniques will effectively homogenise our appearance.

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?
