"Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.
"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.
"People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.
"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.

That is if global warming hasn't exterminated the human species, and if our lifestyles could survive global warming, which I doubt very much. Still, it is a rather amusing speculation.

Global warming wouldn't stop humans from existing, it would merely cause a lot of them to die.
We would still be here to adapt to it. Its what we do.
Also, the idea is very interesting to think of.
possible, but whatever, I'm not going to be alive.psh, and who knows what's going to happen to us. 3000 decline due to technology?
where does he get that?
