Will humans be inseparably blended with technology? What will be the impact of genetic engineering? Will further speciation occur? In November 2002, the Foundation For the Future brought together nine scholars whose backgrounds and expertise ranged from molecular biology and biochemistry to sociology and studies of the future. With this base of knowledge, the gathering of scholars addressed these and related questions concerning “The Future Human.” Proceedings (4.3 MB PDF) of this workshop, including transcripts of presentations and all dialogic sessions, available for download. Featured are short interviews of the scholars individually addressing the question: What is your vision of the thousand-year evolution of our species?
