Will we become one race soon?

Re: Will we become one race soon?

Oh it is still on the decline and it's only going to drop further as they develop. Don't be fooled. A lot of African countries are exploding development wise. It's not just tribes running around contracting aids anymore. India is also developing rapidly and will be a powerhouse in around 50 years.

No of course not tribes running around. I'm talking about North Africa... but in Nigeria for example Muslims rioted against Christians, Christians rioted against Muslims, and in Somalia various religious factions are competing to establish an authoritarian government. India is indeed developing, but in practically all the outlying villages (IE not big cities), the whole caste system of untouchables is alive and working well, illegally. In the cities there are disputes regarding affirmative action in helping lower classes, which were derived from traditional castes. But I guess you're right in that radicalism is in no way increasing in India, but in Africa and the ME I think the point still stands.

Though we may be seemingly moving in a direction towards cultural semi-unison now, I definately don't think that the species homo sapien will be the last species to come out of this particular line of evolution.

"Races" might become more intertwined within the next few hundred generations, but over the next few thousand generations, I think that a lot of [what we consider] "post apocolyptic" cultures of the future may theoretically be on rather significantly different paths.

We may be on a path to becoming an artificially altered humans species, sort of like the Abh in Seikai no Monshou, Senki.

Theoretically, but I was more suggesting a sort of split.

Uhh. Umm.

What?
Yes, India is exploding development-wise.

Africa, though? No. Africa is not. Africa is tanking, crumbling, and ripping at the seams. If you would like I can pull up countless sources citing how poorly Africa is doing in our globalizing economy.

Re: Will we become one race soon?

Quite a few african countries are developing ap, and fast. It's going to cause a lot of over population too.

But I mean, overall you could say it's doing pretty ****ty because a lot (most) of it is still a hell hole.

Big Market wise you only have like 5 countries there that are actually doing stuff and becoming a political power, but I wouldn't say that is *necessary* for globalization at all. There are a few countries that have quite a bit of money and ****ty markets.

Either way, yea, africa is still a pretty big problem, but I mean talking about how long it will take to globalize the entire planet across the time scale of how long we've been here as homosapians, it won't be that long (assuming some really horrible things don't happen)
