Two species of humans?


According to an article by Niall Firth in the Daily Mail, "The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures." Firth quotes evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

"100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

In the 1895 book Time Machine by H.G. Wells, the human race also evolves into two species, the highly intelligent and wealthy Eloi and the Orc-like Morlock who are destined to work underground to keep the Eloi happy.
