Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years’ time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.
Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge…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.
That sounds goblinist to me.
The article is funny, because it is mostly just some guy bullshitting about one perfect race that is tall, beautiful, smart, and healthy with big genitalia, and one, [ahem], not so perfect race of short, squat Rosie O’Donnells, Michelle Obamas, and Hillary Clintons.
It arises through assumed assortive matings between the perfect producing smart, wealthy, beautiful Trumpian families of two to four kids on the one side, and fat welfare queens at the bottom, churning out low IQ future baby daddies and squat baby machines, as quickly as they can, in their perpetual search for more welfare dollars for having their kids.
What is unsaid, but obvious to the educated, is that it will be r/K Selection behind the scenes, mixed with birth control and abortion culling the smart, responsible, elite r-strategists. Between the low rearing urge, and the ability to forestall conception and birth with technology, the only r-strategists breeding will be the welfare queens looking to pad their EBT cards and child subsidies. The Democrat party will get fatter, uglier, and stupider before all is said and done.
Of course this only happens if there is no Apocalypse. Once Apocalypse hits and K-selection takes hold, the welfare queens will be starved to death, because without enough for everybody, somebody has to die, and in free competition it will not be Donald Trump. Between that and the self-sterilization of the smart r-strategists, the future looks very conservative.
It is funny how close HG Wells was to where we are today, and where we will go in the immediate future.
[…] Human Species May Split In Two […]
It’s just a kind of linear extrapolation that is typically done, and typically wrong.
HG Wells was a big socialist (it was a thing in 1900) So of course the pretty people were all living the socialist dream, and the uglies were decedents of the industrialist/industrial workers. Which is about the exact OPPOSITE of what r/K and HBD would predict.
Of course I’ve notice (and AC has mentioned in other ways) that each person assumes that they are part of the ‘best group’ and that therefore their genes and philosophy will part of the pretties in the end…. Rubish.
Where in nature do you see different races of the same species living in close proximity? In any particular place, every ecological niche is fully occupied by one race that has driven all its competitors to extinction.
There are a few isolated colonies of black squirrels in the eastern US, where gray squirrels predominate. All were introduced by humans. They are the same species but play it safe and do not interbreed. No sense wasting a mating season by accidentally breeding outside your species!
That really happened to the Englishmen who married Tasmanian women. They had very few children and none survived to adulthood. Australian Aborigines could probably breed in either direction, being between whites and Tasmanians on the cline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cline_(biology)
