When, if ever, will biotechnology or some kind of a natural occurrence split the human species? Let's see what /ratanon/ predicts. Poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/17946009.

If it happened, would it be a good thing or a bad thing according to your beliefs?


If you push biotech to the point of speciation, then you better make sure that anyone you'd like to have children with has the exact same modifications you do.
That gives a strong pressure to avoid speciation, and I'm not sure which desirable changes would even make speciation necessary.
I can only see it happen in the case of fully isolated populations over a period way longer than the options in the poll.
Four separate options for a period under a century and only one for >500 years is ridiculous, especially if you're explicitly mentioning the possiblity of a "natural occurrence".
