Eloi and Morlocks

[batbat]

Yes, it's true, everybody. Our worst fears are to be realised. In 100,000 years' time there will be two races of human beings on planet earth, just like H. G. Wells predicted.

Well, this is according to "evolutionary theorist" Oliver Curry at LSE, anyway. Apparently, people will become "choosier" in their sexual partners in the next 1,000 years,

Bizarre that in this day and age of tremendous technological growth anyone thinks they can project 1,000 years into the future, let alone 100,000. We should have human germ-line engineering by then, so it may not really be up to natural selection.

Well, exactly. That was why I put "evolutionary theorist" in inverted commas! In a hundred years' time parents might be able to choose what their children look like.

if people were actually choosing mates based on wonderful/hotness, I'd have been knocked up like 17 times.

(I am joking, but god, its only as preposterous as the above linked)

[batbat]

Haha.

Never fear. Your ancestors will be part of the Eloi. Onwards to victory, beautiful hairless large-eyed women with pert breasts, and symmetrical men with deep voices and big penises!
