some quotations...
"Gradually,
the truth dawned on me: that Man had not remained one species, but had
differentiated into two distinct animals..."H. G. Wells: The Time Machine, 1895
"In the future perhaps it may be
possible by selective breeding to change character as quickly as
institutions... We can already alter animal species to an enormous
extent, and it seems only a question of time before we shall be able to
apply the same principles to our own."J. B. S. Haldane, Daedalus or Science and the Future, 1923
"But the likelihood is that, in
100,000 years time, we shall either have reverted to wild barbarism, or
else civilisation will have advanced beyond all recognition--into
colonies in outer space, for instance. In either case, evolutionary
extrapolations from present conditions are likely to be highly
misleading."Richard Dawkins, The Evolutionary Future of Man, 1993
"On a time-scale of a thousand
years... Our one species will be many. There is no reason why a variety
of intelligent species should not fill a variety of ecological niches
in
different physical environments, some adapted to heat, other to cold,
some to zero gravitiy, others to strong gravitiy, some to high
pressure, others to living in the vaacum of space."Freeman Dyson, Imagined Worlds, 1997
"if we could make better human
being... why shouldn't we?"James Watson, panel on human germline engineering, 1998
