The good old fashioned way: famine, disease, and war.

At last one continent has its populations kept in check by the first. The second was most recently seen acting in Spanish flu. And the last has actually been rather dormant.

Technology warps the performance of all three. Green revolution and globalization support populations in areas which are agriculturally poor or overworked, e.g. basically all of South Asia and Africa would be decimated if boats stopped. Medicine has interrupted diseases' work to weed out infirm genetics and dangerous behaviors, e.g. the massive efforts to counter HIV with antivirals and antibiotics -- although there's "hope" here from super bugs bred in and spread by degenerates. War has been on the decline since globalization integrated economies and surveillance technologies have stamped down on fear of unknowns -- but there's "hope" here too as a generation of leaders are coming to pass for whom was is more video game than hell. Can only hope (legitimate hope this time) that CBRN stay out of the picture.

So, you probably have to track evolution differently. Homosapiens sapiens evolves in its head and it's society as much as in body. Insert brief diversion into superorganisms and memeitics here.

It will be the top 1% percent in terms of income that might evolve. Those people actually pay attention to who they have offspring with and have the money to chose who they want.

But in general I think that we reached a halt in the natural evolution of man because people with bad genes live to reproduce through the means of modern medicine (as seen in >>8105714 ). Survival of the fittest does no more aply to humanity.

No one dares to take the responsability to design a good eugenics program that takes into account both genetic variability and choosing characteristics adapted to our modern world.

Artificial enhancements?

probably, the problem is that creating interfaces with the typical technolgical thingies we see in pop-sci might not be so posible. So you would probably end with some RFID cards in your hand or similar.

>Designer genes?

To do that we need eugenics,since we would always need to choose the fittest embryo or the baby that accepted the genes. And again we face the same problem, no one dares to do eugenics these days.

You're looking at evolution the wrong way mate. Evolution is just change over time, so it doesn't really stop. Although natural selection is not as prominent, civilization and the environments we are creating are creating a whole slew of evolutionary pressures because of sexual selection and artificial selection. Not everyone born today is going to have children, and those who did carried the traits that made them more likely to pass on their genes.

Indeed, unlike animals, humans have a huge number of barriers to potential mates, either because of personality, attractiveness, language, distance, culture, income, class, religion, and so on...

It's no surprise that human evolution has accelerated in populations were agriculture was discovered. And it's probably occurring faster.

>> No.8111995

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

>> No.8112037

Honestly I doubt we will evolve much more. Survival of the fittest is essentially what drives evolution but we have mostly cut that out of our world. Just about anyone can get laid and have kids so the less "desirable" genes are still being passed on. We take care of the sick and weak and they then repopulate. And we have technology that allows those who are less fit for survival to survive. We have basically taken away everything that pushes a species to evolve.

>> No.8112170

>>8112037
>Just about anyone can get laid and have kids

But that's not true at all. Not everyone can get laid (see /r9k/) and even if they did, there is no guarantee that they will actually start a family due to a bunch of factors. So selection pressures are still present in their own way.

>so the less "desirable" genes are still being passed on.

Just because the less fit are being taken care off, can survive and have sex doesn't mean selection isn't taking place. A down syndrome person most likely has a lower chance of reproducing then someone without it.
