NEW HUMAN SPECIES?"humans are the only hominid species on Earth, but it seems unlikely to remain the case, notes Juan Enriquez, CEO of Biotechnomy, a life-sciences investment firm, and a founding director of the Life Sciences Project at Harvard Business School. “We’re now no more than a generation or two away from the emergence of an entirely new kind of hominid,” he says. “Homo evolutus: a hominid that takes direct and deliberate control over its own evolution and the evolution of other species.”" " http://lnkd.in/_ZBmM6 View in LinkedIn

FIRST HUMAN MIND MELD. Awesome step! View in LinkedIn

JUAN ENRIQUEZ, from HBS, on the Knowledge Economy. "Over the millennia, the most important language has gone from Egyptian, to Greek and Latin, to French, to English, to binary. Today the most important language you can teach your kids is genetics. Those who refuse to learn will be functionally illiterate and unable to understand, much less compete in, a rapidly changing economy. We rarely understand and debate the greatest single driver of wealth and growth, which is knowledge". " "" " http://lnkd.in/7EvgXw View in LinkedIn

THE ULTIMATE REBOOT: "during the course of my research I found that technological discontinuities are the greatest single driver of long-term economic success…or failure. And the ability to understand and apply gene research is probably the greatest single discontinuity we have seen since the industrial revolution". (Juan Enriquez).

GENETICS AS THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE. "(it is) possible for any one of us to access the Internet and browse the entire human genome -- a map of the code that makes us human. But very few people understand what that means. Soon it will fundamentally change the way we look at the world. It will determine which countries and companies end up being dominant in half a century". (Juan Enriquez). " "" " http://lnkd.in/7EvgXw View in LinkedIn

POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY has a good face and an evil face. "We are acquiring direct and deliberate control over the evolution of most life forms. This is a power that will allow us to feed more people, cure more people, and live far better lives. That's very exciting. But it will also change the nature of things like warfare and terrorism, which of course is very frightening". (Juan Enriquez)." "" " http://lnkd.in/7EvgXw View in LinkedIn

HUMAN-HUMAN MIND MELD. "Wednesday 28 August 2013. For the first time researchers in the US have created what they believe to be the first ever non-invasive human brain-to-brain interface. Scientists from the University of Washington successfully sent brain signals via the internet from one individual to another, remotely controlling the recipient’s body movements".

HUMAN BRAIN GENES evolve slower than genes in other tissues, and differently. This can be documented by studying gene sequences. They also tend to evolve faster in species with advanced brains. It appears that what matters for brain evolution is an increased complexity of brain gene interactions. " " http://lnkd.in/3vrMQ9 View in LinkedIn

HISTORIC HUMAN MIND MELD is the culmination of a series of brilliant experiments in animals (tomorrow, the summary) showing thought transfer between animals. The much-anticipated human-hunan experiment has blasted out of the gate. This remarkable and truly historic finding is the start of an extraordinary journey whose final destination we know not.

STAR TRECK predicted the mind meld in popular culture and now reality has caught up with fiction." "" " "Vulcan mind melds: utter foolishness. Anybody with an ounce of sense wouldn't share his brain with someone else; would you? I certainly wouldn't." The Doctor (VOY: "Meld") http://lnkd.in/sVwQhD View in LinkedIn
