Evolutionary theorist, Oliver Curry, has released a controvercial paper which suggests that the human race will splid into two classes: a dim underclass and an elite upper class. The theory is based on the idea that humans will become more selective about their sexual partners. The BBC describes, "The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures."
Trend Themes
1. Genetic Selectivity - The trend of humans becoming more selective about their sexual partners creates disruptive innovation opportunities in fields such as genetic engineering and personalized medicine.
2. Elite Class Formation - The emergence of an elite upper class presents disruptive innovation opportunities in industries like luxury goods, exclusive services, and high-end education.
3. Dim Underclass Evolution - The evolution of a dim underclass highlights disruptive innovation opportunities in areas like social equality, education reform, and mental health support.
Industry Implications
1. Genetic Engineering - The field of genetic engineering can capitalize on the trend of increasing genetic selectivity to develop innovative solutions for enhancing desired traits in humans.
2. Luxury Goods - The formation of an elite upper class opens up opportunities in the luxury goods industry to cater to the affluent segment with exclusive and high-end products.
3. Social Equality - The evolution of a dim underclass necessitates disruptive innovation within the social equality sector to address disparities and promote equal opportunities for all.
