Better looking? More intelligent? Why are rates of autism, asthma, and allergies exploding at an unprecedented pace? Why are humans living longer and having far fewer kids?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFuturist Juan Enriquez and scientist Steve Gullans conduct a sweeping tour of how humans are changing the course of evolution for all species—sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. For example:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • What if life forms are limited only by the bounds of our imagination? Are designer babies and  pets, de-extinction, even entirely newspecies fair game?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • As humans, animals, and plants become ever more resistant to disease and aging, what will  become the leading causes of death?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Man-machine interfaces may allow humans to live much longer. What will happen when we  transfer parts of our “selves” into clones, into stored cells and machines?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough these harbingers of change are deeply unsettling, the authors argue we are also in an epoch of tremendous opportunity. Future humans, perhaps a more diverse, resilient, gentler, and intelligent species, may become better caretakers of the planet—but only if we make the right choices now.
