This was in the Sun tabloid and the article is garbage. It makes one
wonder what the agenda "Dr." Curry has up his sleeve. Here's evolution
for the dum masses. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a few on s.b.e.
subscribe to some of it:) Confirming Tim Tyler's belief "men will have
big willies" or genitals.

All men will have big willies

COMMENT ON THIS STORY
BY the year 3000, the average human will be 6½ft tall, have
coffee-coloured skin and live for 120 years, new research predicts.
And the good news does not end there.
Blokes will be chuffed to learn their willies will get bigger - and
women's boobs will become more pert.
But there is also a downside, the study suggests. We will be more prone
to disease and physically weaker because of our increasing reliance on
technology.
The predictions appear in a new report by evolution theorist Dr Oliver
Curry, of the Darwin@LSE Research Centre at the London School Of
Economics.
He looked at the impact of various technological, biological and
environmental factors on the future evolution of man.
He reckons humans are set to reach their peak by the year 3000, growing
taller and living longer thanks to improved nutrition, lifestyles and
medical knowledge.
According to the report, commissioned to mark the 21st anniversary of
TV channel Bravo, race will become a thing of the past as we will all
have the same coloured skin.
Brave new world ... Dr Curry
Dr Curry says: "Race is only skin deep. There was a time when we were
all the same colour. As we become more interconnected throughout the
world, racial difference is likely to be diluted.
"Humans are likely to move towards a uniform 'coffee' skin
tone."
Dr Curry continues: "People of the year 3000 will have reached the
peak of human enhancement, leading the longest, healthiest and most
accomplished lives in the entire history of the human race.
"Improved nutrition and understanding of the human body will see
people grow taller, with men reaching an average height of between six
and seven feet, while lifespans will also be far greater, with humans
living for up to 120 years."
Dr Curry also claims men and women will also become better-looking by
the next Millennium in order to attract a mate.
He says: "Our ideas of what we find attractive will evolve and as a
result we will develop technologies that will enable us to upgrade
ourselves.
"Through turbo-charged cosmetic surgery techniques and genetic
engineering, we will try to fit in with what the opposite sex finds
attractive."
As a result men are expected to exhibit symmetrical facial features,
athleticism and the classic signs of testosterone such as a square jaw,
deeper voice and larger manhood.
Women will have smooth hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts,
glossy hair and symmetrical features.
But while mankind is expected to reach its brilliant best in the year
3,000, the outlook further along the evolutionary chain is less rosy.
According to the report, 10,000 years from now the human race will pay
the genetic price for its over-reliance on technology.
Dr Curry, 33, says: "It all sounds a lot of fun to begin with but
humans are going to experience the equivalent of a genetic hangover as
we rely more and more on technology.
"One way to look at it is that we will become a bit weedy - like
domestic animals who need to be looked after.
"Skills such as communicating and interacting with others will be
degraded, leaving humans less able to care for others.
"There is also the danger that reliance on medicine and obsession
with hygiene is likely to lead to a deterioration in the immune system.
If we are all popping pills, diseases such as cancer won't be weeded
out of the gene pool."
It is also predicted that humans will lose their jaw structure due to a
lack of chewing needed to eat processed foods.
According to the report, the number of caesarian sections will rise as
mothers give birth to larger infants.
Much further in the future, the report foresees a kind of genetic class
system developing where humans become more choosy about their partners.
About 100,000 years from now, mankind may be divided into two distinct
groups - with the genetic elite moving in more exclusive circles and
losing contact with the rest of society.
The genetic "haves" will be tall, thin symmetrical, clean, healthy,
intelligent and creative.
The genetic "have nots" will be short, stocky, asymmetrical,
grubby, unhealthy and not as bright.
Dr Curry adds: "It is kind of like Angelina Jolie having a baby with
Brad Pitt. A genetic elite will be created by what is known as
'assortative mating'.
"It is like the two best tennis players in the world getting
together. In a more interconnected world, it will become easier and
easier for these kinds of people to meet up.
"While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal
habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is also the
possibility of a monumental genetic hangover.
"We certainly can't predict definitely what is going to happen but
we can make educated predictions based on our understanding of how
evolution works.
"The Bravo Evolution report suggests the future of man will be a
story of the good, the bad and the ugly."
