If so, the following piece will provide you and your friends with hours of rainy-day fun as you try to tease out how your distant progeny will look in 1,000 years (which apparently will be our evolutionary high-water mark) after which we'll start a long slow chinless decline.
Don't be surprised to find this in the form of a computer game coming to an electronics outlet near you soon.
Hey, hasn't this already happened???
ReplyDeleteTwo different species indicates a split as has never before been observed in the animal kingdom.
ReplyDeleteIf there are two species (either one human and the other something subhuman, or one superhuman and the other human), these with discrete genetics, different like a chimp is from a gorilla, then the first babies born into the other-than-human species would have to include both a male and female, of the very same different species, so that potentially and theoretically, anyway, they can have children. Chances are a freak would be less able to survive than the parent species, and chances are two would not be born to the precise same genetic freak accident.
Also, if the two were born, and for the sake of a good genetic pool, to different sets of parents, and in such proximity that they could find each other, there would be a lot on the world that would prevent them from having kids in the new species--assuming that it was such a freak accident that enabled progeny to the freak species. And, what a family, the only ones in the world, a new family of a superior species to us humans, maybe, a species we allow to flourish and take the world from us regular humans, as we witness them populating before us.
