Homo evolutis

[TheRealJoeFish]

What do you think of the idea that we are evolving into a new species named Homo evolutis ? The first species to take command of it's own evolutionary future? I can think of one simple proof this may be happening. Vaccination against disease. Is modern medicine our extended phenotype?

I mean, it's an interesting concept to think about: once we reached the point where we could define ourselves as a species, when will we reach the point where we're a different species?

The technical answer, as Mister Agenda says, surely involves the genome.

The lay answer is, I would think: "not for many thousands of years."

But it is an interesting issue philosophically I think
