My Response to Human Species

I read this article and thought I'd post my thoughts on it. My first initial response: hogwash. Basically the article says the human species will evolve into two different subspecies one superior (tall, smart, attractive, etc.) and one inferior (squat, stupid, etc). Also, our huge dependence on technology will begin our downfall. I find all of this doubtful as I feel that there is just too many factors that he is leaving out. Also, theories of evolution describe physical features that change, they do not describe psychological changes. I find it hard to believe that "Social skills, such as communicating and interacting with others, could be lost, along with emotions such as love, sympathy, trust and respect." as there is no real evidence of this psychological change, not even in the animal world.

My thoughts.
