"Social division might split humans into two sub-species 100,000 years from now, an evolution expert has claimed.
The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative.
They would be a far cry from the 'underclass' humans, who will have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures."
...hmmm, fascinating. And yet, that's a big stretch of time to cross with an intact prediction. But not to worry...
"The forecast was made by Dr Oliver Curry, who spent two months investigating the ascent and descent of man over the next 100 millennia. He said that within a thousand years, humans will evolve into coffee-coloured giants between 6 and 7ft tall. But Dr Curry said centuries of sexual selection - being choosy about one's partner - was likely to create more and more genetic inequality.
The logical outcome would be two sub-species, "gracile" and "robust" humans. Dr Curry said: "Things could get ugly, with the possible emergence of genetic 'haves' and 'have-nots'."
Well, since he spent a full 2 months working up this sci-fi screenplay, the resulting airtight fact-set should be enough to get it optioned. Ya' think?
