Nice try, but you really need to learn how to place adverbs.

Other posters have nicely summed up this quack. Its not science its speculation.

A lot more interesting is a recent article on what the Earth would be like without humans: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/mg19225731.100

I showed that article to my wife, a biologist. She read it then said, "That guy is a quack." and "Notice this wasn't published in a journal? Why exactly did you have me waste my time with this?"

That about sums it up.
Those nutty biologists are always getting it on the slide.

I think I'll place my next adverb where the sun don't shine.

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.
The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

Of course the "genetic upper class" wouldn't use the "dim-witted underclass" for sexual gratification which would lead to reproduction...

There is certainly a squat, dim-witted, short-lived underclass existing in the Castle Market area of Sheffield right now (and probably in most towns).

I don't see much of an elite upperclass though, but maybe because that's they're so scarce and widely dispersed.

Why do you want a bigger penis and perter breasts or should I not have asked?

This is absolute rubbish!! It assumes that the World will remain a stable environment and that our resources don't dwindle. Our technology relies on things like oil, metal, minerals, etc... He doesn't take into account the fact that these things are finite! When a resource becomes scarce, it causes conflict. Conflict or rather competition is the driving force of evolution. Our technology is already changing our environment, in 20 years time our World is going to be a much more hostile place. If we were to continue on our current path the World will be uninhabitable in 1000 years (at least it will be for us!!). There is absolutely no way of knowing what the world will be like in 3000 years, his argument is pure blue sky conjecture.
