Me says this is a bunch of lunatic science.

** The human race may split in the next 100,000 years, according to a British scientist.**
Oliver Curry, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, thinks two subspecies will emerge: a tall, slim, intelligent privileged class, and a short, squat, ugly, dim-witted race of servants.
If that sounds remarkably like what H.G. Wells foresaw in “The Time Machine” with his Eloi and Morlocks, that’s because the division of species into slender “gracile” and husky “robust” forms occurs repeatedly in the evolutionary history of higher primates.
For example, the common chimpanzees is a tough, violent, meat-eating ape, while its close relative the bonobo is a slimmer, more gentle, largely vegetarian peace-lover.

Me says that this guy isn’t even a biologist, and in fact works at a School of Economics. My labmates and I had a good chuckle at this yesterday.
 
Perhaps this ‘scientist’ is a big fan of Huxley’s Brave New World. Wacky!
 
SeekerJen is correct. The guy is some sort of political scientist. I don’t see what his qualifications are to discuss genetic theory.

Oliver Curry is a research associate at the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science in the London School of Economics. He is an evolutionary theorist. His Ph.D., on the topic of morality as natural history, was awarded by the Government Department of the London School of Economics, where he now teaches Political Theory.

As an evolutionary psychologist, Curry also contributed to the secular morality segments of the television documentary, The Root of All Evil?, in which Richard Dawkins argues that the world would be better off without religion.

Same story from last year, same guy. Maybe the press pulls it out every Holloween? :rolleyes:
 
Sounds like some more evolutionary nonsense to suggest that we’re becoming two different ‘species’. Even the scenario he describes is simply natural selection at work and both groups are fully human beings with isolated traits. I wonder if evolutionists like him also consider light and dark skinned people two separate sub species… according to their logic it would be so! And that’s precisely some of the controversies that happened in the past.

Sounds like an elitest snob to me. Let’s see, which of the two evolutionary tracks does he think he is on. Who does he see that are on the other evolutionary track?
 
If they really want they can side step the whole thing and just create slave robots, I’m sure they’ll complain less than the Morlocks.

Wouldn’t the shorter, tougher race just kill and enslave these tall, slender whimps?😛

To each his own gifts.

I wonder how tall this guy is? He must be really short. :rolleyes:

This is laughable.

That is what happened to the ‘beautiful race’ in The Time Machine.

No, they didn’t enslave them, just ate them.
 
Sound like more wishful thinking from another evolutionist secularist fanatic.
 
There’s too many people for evolution to shift. In 100,000 years we probably won’t even be here.
