Re: Human race to split into two sub-species
"emerge"???
" Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge."
Has this guy looked around lately?
On a more serious note, the guy is weird - to quote him
" Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.
Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features"
He can forecast that we will have "bigger penises" and "pert breasts"???? He must know a lot about biology and evolution, then?
Perhaps not -

" Oliver Curry received his PhD in 2005 from the Government Department of the London School of Economics. He currently teaches Political Theory at New York University in London. Oliver is interested in evolutionary explanations of behaviour, especially human social, moral and political behaviour. He is also interested in how evolutionary explanations of moral and political thought and behaviour shed light on problems in moral and political theory. He is currently working on turning some of the predictions that evolutionary theory makes about human moral and political psychology into tractable experiments, and putting them to the test."
His current post-doc research is -

"Oliver is currently working on turning some of the predictions that evolutionary theory makes about human moral and political psychology into tractable experiments, and putting them to the test. This includes work on the evolution of patience, on attitudes to abortion, and on moral decision-making in psychopaths."
Just realised why the penises and breasts bit was relevant - the last line in the BBC article
"He carried out the report for men's satellite TV channel Bravo"
