Scientists believe that humans may evolve into 2 distinct sub-species by the year 3000. This will be due to our dependancy on technology. A bit like HG Wells' Time Machine where humanity had become either Eloi or Morlock.
Personally I'd be surprised if any humans will still be around by then.
Ah then my favourite SF film Gattaca isn't so far off the mark then.. Mind I reckon the changes will take place quicker due to our manipulation of the human genome and that only the rich and wealthy of society will be able to afford the processes.That's where the underclass will begin.
