What's the Next Step in Evolution for Homo Sapiens?
#12
RE: What's the Next Step in Evolution for Homo Sapiens?
I think one possibility that might influence a jump in human evolution is genetic engineering.

Assuming technology keeps going steadily forwards I wouldn't be surprised if the next age after the Information Age is the genetic age.

This isn't my original idea it's actually the plot of a civilisation game. But I don't see it as being outside the realms of possibility, genetic engineering is happening now, I can imagine it becoming more advanced and being used more efficiently, directly and frequently on humans.

Although I have an idea that nature limits how intelligent human societies become. I think societies with higher intelligence tend to have lower birth rates and higher suicide rates and higher rates of depression.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
