The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

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

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.

And no natural blondes-- don't forget that, Kelvy. Scientists say that natural blondes of the Nordic type have about another thirty years before they go extinct (insert your own blonde joke here) due to mixing of the races: you know black/blonde, brunette/blonde, redhead/blonde.

I think there should be a natural blonde preserve.

And save your pithy comments about going on safari and using your "big game rifle" to take down a trophy blonde either, BT.

Physically, they would start to appear more juvenile. Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.
This smacks of Lamarckism.

Besides, the tender flesh of the surface dwellers will still require chewing.

People of the earth can you hear me
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled to the world on a silvery light

The people of the earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world children of the sun, children of the sun

Old news. This schism in humanity was predicted back in the 1950's by C.M. Kornbluth.

That comment went over the head of 99.87% of this board, bhodi. Trust me on this, if you're going for laffs around here you have to dumb it waaaaaaaay down for the unwashed FFXI masses.

Bull cookies. This presupposes that no Nords currently alive will bear children with any other Nord.

Three hundred years, maybe. Thirty years, nfw.

Ok, we're supposed to believe all of this genetic, biologic, and social changes and it's coming from an Economist?? Sounds like this guy is a crack-pot, and it must be a slow news day at the BBC.

The Brits have a much more liberal definition of 'economics' than I if they need an "evolutionary theorist" on staff.
