what would it be? im thinking like one race of super attractive, intelligent, athletic motherfuckers and goony shitlords (funnily enough, the goony shitlordds reach technological singularity first and are actually just amorphous blobs with cables attaching them to their wow servers)

Actually op humanity will split into many species as we slowly colonize the galaxy and the various populations become isolated from one another and engage in genetic tailoring to better suit their environments.

subspecies are frankly probably not that far off once we start seeing genetic enhancement and stuff like that come to fruition

that basically just comes down to whether they can make fertile babies, doesn't it? if homo titius can make babies with homo sapiens then they're still the same species, if they can't they're not.

I think there is sub classifications under speccies. It's like variety and form, except instead of the English words they use Latin so they can make it unnecessarily complicated.

I mean we got freaky with the Neanderthals which were def a different species and made some fertile babies which is how we got some of their genes in our genome.

I think at this point we have a decent chance at survival and if we do can look forward to colonizing a few dozen stars.
the earth and the natural environment of course is hosed but that was literally was basically set in stone since the 80's

It will be exactly like that new sci fi movie with Matt damon(Elysium). There will be people on the station and people in deep poo poo. Which one will you be?

The enormous astronomical space between us and our new home planet will be overcome by a simple mere idea of a tiny little human. Just like any problem really :D Stuff that is unthinkable will be easy peasy in 100years if not sooner. I already saw a concept of self replicating robots swarming to the next star. Of course this will only stay true if we castrate/cage people like islamists or tea party voters.

It's funny you say that because years ago I read an article saying that exact thing will happen.

Human species 'may split in two'

quote:

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.

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.

Smart people and dumb people gently caress all the time and always have though how would that work

Is being smart even a survival trait anymore, probably sapience is gonna be like the appendix of the year 200,000 but we'll all be naturals at updating Facebook and looking busy

hello :)
i mean do you want a real answer. it would be one side, the majority, bred or genetically altered over time to be happy but stupid and docile that do everything and are happy with what they have (probably some kind of happy pill or chemical in the water or something along those lines as well) and then the other side who do nothing but are smarter than everyone else. any anomalies are sterilized and thus it will reinforce itself
