ARE WE THE LAST?
	
Is the current generation of Homo Sapiens -                      					
from the Latin, ’Wise Man' - the last? 
Are the existing members of humanity,
like Neanderthals and Denisovans, 
now facing extinction? Will gene-editing
technology, bionic engineering, enhanced 
resistance to disease and a subsequent 
increase in life expectancy lead to 
the mega-rich re-designing themselves 
and their children and, in the process, 
creating an underclass of unimproved 
humans - drones to drive the hive.                                           
Will the future ‘super humans’ even 
remember what it was to be human?
