And now for the sci-fi..
we are changing the planet, we are changing ourselves...just as we look
back and see no resemblance to our hominid ancestors, in a few thousand
years, "we" will look back and not recognize 'ourselves'.
I wonder about 'diseases' such as asthma and even autism...is something
happening to our bodies that will prove to give an adaptive advantage?
Remember in _The Andromeda Strain_, the survivors were the colicky baby
and the alcoholic man, both of whom were in a state of acidosis?
