Within 100,000 years the divide between rich and poor could lead to two human sub-species
HUMANITY could evolve into two sub-species within 100,000 years as social divisions produce a genetic underclass, a scientist said yesterday.

The mating preferences of the rich, highly educated and well-nourished could ultimately drive their separation into a genetically distinct group that no longer interbreeds with less fortunate human beings, according to Oliver Curry.

Dr Curry, a research associate in the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science of the London School of Economics, speculated that privileged humans might over tens of thousands of years evolve into a “gracile” subspecies, tall, thin, symmetrical, intelligent and creative. The rest would be shorter and stockier, with asymmetric features and lower intelligence, he said.

This is really scary. Provided the human race manages to survive that long, with the current death wish I somehow doubt it.

I've just downloaded and tried it. It is quite a change from all the previous versions this feels a lot more like Firefox and it's faster than the old IE.
I don't use IE normally, well sometimes I have no choice as some sites still require it but I've been using Firefox for a long time and more recently Flock. I don't think that I will switch to IE 7 but I'm too curious and have to try anything new. I definitely like the RSS feeds function similar to the one that Flock has. I enjoy trying stuff like this but then I go back to my good old bloglines.
