Human race will split into two different species: report



IN 1900, experts made predictions for the 20th century. They got much of it wrong, but a lot right - housework never became fun, but we did get the Internet and the nuclear bomb.
If the accuracy of 1900 is a guide, researchers in Britain may be right this time. They have predicted that the human race may be split into two different species in 100,000 years' time - an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures.
"The human race would reach its physical peak by the year 3000. People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species. The descendants of the genetic upper class will be tall, slim, healthy and attractive from the underclass humans.
"But in the near future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall while life-spans will have extended t0 120 years. "Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises. Women will all have glossy hairs, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts." according to lead researcher Oliver Curry of London School of Economics.
Curry has also said that 10,000 years later reliance on technology will have begun to dramatically change the appearance of the human race.
"while science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance of technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease."he said.

English researchers has developed a super sticky tape that mimics the mechanism used by lizards to climb nearly any surface.
One square centimeter of the new adhesive contains millions of plastic fibres, similar to those clingy hairs that cover the soles of gecko's feet. In addition to potentially allowing folks to scale walls spider-man-style, this new technology scientists say, will have many applications, providing the necessary residue-free stickum for everything from computer chips in vacuum environments to tissues in need of rejoining during surgery.
