THE NEXT HUMAN ?

uman being has been evolving since millions of years ago. Our very old ancestor was Homo habilis. When we consider the Charles Darwin’s tree of evolution, great habilis is at the bottom. Homo erectus is on top of that. Homo neanderthal and Homo sapiens are more or less like cousins of the family. But H. neanderthal couldn’t survive to the environment. What had happened to him? According to the Darwin, he couldn’t adapt to the changing environment. Perhaps there might have been some kind of a virus which swept out the brother neanderthal from the family. However, sapiens could survive from all these difficulties and he could pass all the tests which Mother Nature had examined. There were always tests from the beginning of the evolution process. 

“Not most intelligent species, also not the strongest species, but the most adaptable species can be survived.”

Why I’m telling these….?? Perhaps this might be the END of all

THE END? What the hell am I talking about? Probably you might thinking like this. Just keep going down. I’m sure this might quite interesting than you think.

My name is Professor G. Prathapasinghe. And I’m working in the Department of Sociology, Faculty of psychology, University of Peradeniya. I did my PhD in Human Revolution many years ago. At that time while I was preparing for my final dissertation I realized, how this evolution happens? Why it’s important? And what if unexpected branch will appear in the evolutionary tree?

However we don’t care of this evolution because it takes longer time to produce a new branch and it will not interfere with our day today life. That’s how people thought in year 2020. It all happened from that year.

What?? The evolution?

Nope. But it was the beginning of multiple branching of human beings in evolution tree. And it was so fast compared to the earlier ones. There was a virus called COVID-19 spreading throughout the world in 2020. Lot of civilians had infected and no cure was founded. So many people were dead. Most of the developed countries were helpless. At that time people of the whole world were locked down inside their own houses. But the pandemic was not finished in months. 6 months later America found a cure (an injection) and China as well. So they tried it. Whole world surprised. Both of that treatments were successful. Death rates were reduced. After 3 months whole world get cured. So year 2020 was named as the year of CURE.

After 100 years latter something strange happened. Even though world get cured from that virus, some side effects came up. As you know only thing viruses do is reproduction. They do that by making copies of their DNA inside our healthy living cells. Every time they do replication their DNA get changed. That’s the reason why world couldn’t produce any cure for viruses. Those two kind of injections were manufactured to enhance the duty of the virus. Genetic engineers thought that as every living system viruses also should have a limit. So they wanted to exhaust the viruses. Once they did it they gave genetically modified virus that like to do there reproduction with COVID-19 virus. Then both viruses were attached and produced a new harmless good protective bodies inside human living cells. However, they also had DNA with them as well.

In 2120, there could 3 genetically different human beings. These happened due to the COVID-19 injection. Persons who did not infected were remain as Homo sapiens. People who got the cure manufactured by China now having higher intelligence than other 2. . It is genetically called as Homo sapienex. And people who got the cure manufactured by America now having higher physical body health. Those are like giants in phenotype. It is genetically called as Homo sapiantus.

What has happened? Homo sapienex is the evolutionary next step of the H. sapiens and H. sapientus having similarities with Homo erectus as they have physical strength than the intelligence. So they are the reverse step of the sapiens.

Three types of humans are now on the earth. Earth is not the same like in 2020.There are no glaziers on the poles at all. Global temperature is around 36 degrees. Human body do not want to generate heat for the enzyme activation. In the quarantine period human thought that world’s environmental pollution will reduce due to the locked down situation. Once the people who got cured from COVID-19 did the same as usual.

I’m typing this blog for our NEXT generation. And I want to give you a message. We can not our own changes for the evolutionary tree. If we do she will correct it soon.

Three different types of branches are on here now. Evolutionary tree have to take the decision again as she did with Homo neanderthal and H. sapiens millions of years ago. She will take the decision who will be… Now a huge war is coming. Who will survive? Will it be Brainys? Muscles? or Adjesters?
