A new type of Homo Sapien would be when we integrate technology within our bodies.
We would be able to have the conscious decision in self-evolving, because it would lead us
to a choice on whether or not we want to accept merging with technology.

Im not too keen on the idea of man melding with technology. I think its called Cybernetics and was an idea put forth by Norbert Weiner a scientist from the early fifties. I dont remember the name of the book, but governments around the world jumped on the concept. In my mind its not evolutionary, its fascist implementation. Im talking about how our appearances and mental capabilities will change, once we are exposed to zero gravity and propagate in that environ. Zero gravity and particularly those born and conceived in zero gravity will have differences (mutation of gene transcription) some of these "differences" will result in startling capabilities, and distinct changes in our physical appearances. Of course a eugenics program will be in place by then. Right now, the future of our species still looks bright. Ours is not the only universe. We exist, right now, in the future.
