Human race will 'split into two different species'

This is an interesting theory...

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 could 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.

The report claims that after they reach their peak around the year 3000 humans will begin to regress.

Scott and my father-in-law will probably recognize the plot of H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."

But I don't think this is going to happen. There are too many rich and not so rich people paying to have their appearances altered. So we will end up with women who have had their noses reduced and breasts enlarged attracting men with hair implants and other "male enhancements." So the "bad" genes will carry on.

Besides, the way things are going, we're never going to make it to the year 3,000. We are just smart enough to screw up our own evolution.

What makes me laugh, because I'd rather laugh than cry, is that the internet is probably our greatest cultural creation as a species. And all of those ones and zeros will be gone and there ain't gonna be no Rosetta Pentium. I'd bet you a week's water ration that the Pyramids in Egypt will outlast the internet.

The pyramids and all of that crap we've left floating out in space.
