ha, the professor's prediction didnt contain a normative angle that down-played an absence of "diversity" as defined only by tony balony.
Here is the tony balony ideal type Korean after 1000s of years of uni-cultural preservation as the result of careful inter-racial breeding:

It would appear the professor was just writing a highly speculative piece on behalf of a TV show ("hey wouldn't it be neat if this happened, and it could I guess") and the news just botched it all up.
The media rarely ever gets science stories correct and this is just another example. This is in no way a scientific prediction by this researcher. Just a bit of sci fi he wrote .
The prof's conclusion to his paper:
| Quote: |
| So, these might be some of the highs and lows of human evolution over the next million years. But remember, that there is nothing inevitable about the evolutionary process. It is not aiming at anything, it has no goals, and no inertia. What evolves will be a product of the mutations that arise, and the circumstances in which they find themselves. To the extent that we will be able to invent new genes, and to create our own conditions, we have some control over our future. In this sense, the future is not a place that we will go to, it is a thing that we will build. |
