Hyper Evolution

Came across this interesting article;

Think it takes thousands or even millions of years for animals to evolve significantly new traits? Think again.

I've often wondered about this myself. Is something going to happen to us, around us either massive in physical nature (EOTWAWKI) or in society (bionic/cyborg implants) that will cause a massive jump in what it means to be human.

I think i'm probably a generation or two too early but you never know, i might catch the tail end.

(BTW has anyone been watching The Colony on tv the last few weeks?)


Cheers,
