Humans continue to evolve as globalization allows for the mixing of genetic material from diverse populations, potentially leading to increased resilience and new phenotypes.

The tendency of evolution is not towards homogenization but towards preserving distinctions, which is evident in the way the two hemispheres of the brain function together yet separately.

We are at a pivotal point where technology can change who we are genetically, and we need to understand what it means to be human before we give that away.

The integration of technology into human life may create a divide between those who embrace it and those who resist, leading to societal conflicts over the future of humanity.

Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human traits to animals, can lead to misunderstandings of animal behavior, while anthropo denial overlooks the commonalities between humans and other species.

The success of multimodal models has narrowed the diversity of ideas in AI, leading to concerns about reaching the limits of usable human data.

The odds of the mutations that define our humanity occurring naturally are so small that scientists suggest there must have been some form of intervention.

While the human experience is valuable, the integration of technology into our lives will continue to evolve, leading to new forms of interaction and existence that challenge traditional notions of humanity. Our new reality is as alien to us as it would be to hunter-gatherers from 15,000 years ago.

Human genetic adaptation to diet is fascinating, as seen in the example of lactase persistence, where certain populations have adapted to digest dairy throughout their lives.
