I would say that it is a little naive to claim that genetics will not have an
impact on the future evolutionary path of humanity. Maybe it is due to a
limited education that some people would claim this. I fully believe in the
potential of science, including nanotechnology and AI, but it seems like some
people on this list live in a fantasy land.
