SETI public: Far Future Calling: Humans v2.0:Human Evolution at the Cross Roads.

• Previous message: LARRY KLAES: "SETI public: SETI scientists get a new tool in search for extraterrestrial life"

Will the human species take the course of its own future evolution into its own hands as a result of advances in genetic engineering and the merging the human mind with advanced computer technologies?

We are approaching a very uncertain future beyond which we can barely glimpse. On our immediate horizon lies Vernor Vinge's "Singularity", the point at which computers reach and surpass human intelligence. Will humans become extinct or will we merge with our machines in a symbiosis that will create a new player in the future evolutionary story of planet Earth. We are at the cross roads of evolution and what really lies ahead is anybody’s guess.
