More Human Than HumanFebruary 13, 2021 at 11:17 PM I don't know how much of this is hyperbole and how much is actually yikes-worthy: It is not clear how far Chinese military researchers have gone. They are, however, advocating use of the CRISPR gene-editing tool to enhance human capabilities, and the Communist Party's Central Military Commission is "supporting research in human performance enhancement and 'new concept' biotechnology." I mean, maybe they just want people for an exciting new life in the off-world colonies? .

Darwin had entirely excluded humans from his scheme.
