As technology and ways of storing information has progressed we will in
the next 1000 years witness many trends and phenomena's of evolution.
While all knowledge up till now is based on uncontrolled experiments or
salvaged evidence from the past. Our current technology allows us to
store this information and make it available for future researchers. We
are also able to create experimental setups which are much more
favorable for the future researchers to interpret. While the former
method is already in progress, very little effort is being made in the
latter method.
The Current Human Condition
In the past human technology was primitive and this ensured some level
of isolation among the settlements. However now technology has
progressed and it is no longer possible to have pockets of isolation
that could lead to speciation. This means that from now on human
evolution is a mass movement. Re-absorption of mutated entities will
average out the kind of evolution that occurred in the human journey so
far. The new round of human evolution will be depended on the condition
of the entire population.
The Promise of Space
The old evolution will however continue in space colonization,
voluntary isolation or disaster which would reduce our technological
superiority.
Until space technology develops we need to test the old evolution with
our modern technology. It is important that we test on voluntarily
isolated simulated settlement for this purpose. In the event space
colonization is delayed the impact of human convergence on our
evolution needs to be studied. The result of these findings could be
important for future decisions.
The Experiment
We need land for the isolation project that is completely isolated from
the world. We need voluntary communication isolation. The isolation
group should be large even up to a million people would be fine for the
experiment. They should have access to our current knowledge but any
discovery we made after the project initiates should not be
transmitted.
Continuous Monitoring
To test the experiment the people outside should not be given
information regarding the isolationist the isolation must be two way.
This is necessary for the experiment to succeed. But we can have a
third group of monitors who have information access from both the
groups and monitor data and take important decision that may be
important but cannot be known by either the mainstream or the
isolationist from their restricted knowledge. They would be responsible
for deciding if any information exchange should be allowed to prevent
any problems but at the same time ensure complete isolation is ensured
and the project is being run smoothly.
