A suggestion : If we assume that humans are a part of nature, then, for every mutation in the lab, nature determines all future evolutions. Evolution may use its own product, humans, as a mean for future mutations. If we take this hypothesis even further, considering our own selves to be the last border of civilization, could we also argue that constructing our genetically engineered successors will be the main issue of the future?
Given that the body has already been open to extensions, it now becomes a field for transformations. These changes will be derived from our inner body, the genetic code, producing unpredictable forms. The aim would be to change the genetic data in a way that a hybridist form of the human being will be produced . The natural selection could determine whether humans or human artifacts would survive in the process of evolution.
It is now more appropriate to say that if humans are part of nature, nature chooses all potential evolutions; or even further, if the last border is our selves, constructing our artifact successors will be the main issue of the future. Will a hypothetical Superhuman, as an artistic product, be able to manifest an acceleration in the evolutionary process?
