QuoteRemember, the mitochondrial DNA record shows that 75,000 years ago there were only 10,000 human souls or 1000 breeding pairs left after the Genetic Bottleneck.

And so it could be again.  But perhaps with only ugly people to carry the flame forward.  Speculation can be endless.

QuoteAfter a Yang attack, Spock investigates the field of battle and finds evidence that Tracey has been helping the Kohms, in violation of the Prime Directive. Kirk tries to contact the Enterprise, but is prevented by Tracey, who tries to justify his violation by revealing that the planet's natives are not only immune to the mysterious disease, but have also developed lifespans of over 1000 years.

QuoteSpock then conjectures that the history of Omega IV had closely paralleled that of Earth until the former was devastated by a biological war that Earth had avoided.Spock then conjectures that the history of Omega IV had closely paralleled that of Earth until the former was devastated by a biological war that Earth had avoided.

Possibly,but then what seems ugly to us now will seem beautiful to them.   Beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Personally, I'm hoping all the descendants have mitochondrial DNA from Scarlett Johansson. 



Decent chance, since she's rich enough to have her own Bunker.

Scarlett Johansson is Mensa Material as well as being healthy and beautiful.  It does not suck to be her. 

But: In 'Brave New World' Aldous Huxley describes exiling a group of 'alphas' to an island where they quickly built a society that destroys itself.

I'd like to find how it really turns out.  Get me a tardis!  What is happening in 2223?

The Earth is spinning on its axis and orbiting the Sun every 365 days or so.  There are clouds in the sky and rain falls periodically somewhere.  There is water in the oceans with some form of life swimming, floating or crawling on the floor beneath it.  On land there is something green growing and some kind of animals are crawling, slithering, walking, running, brachiating, gliding or flying around.  All these life forms are undergoing mitosis and sometimes meiosis, the plants are pollinating and animals are fucking.

Not happening are any carz rolling or flying around, no helicopters hovering or planes taking off, flying and landing or rockets lifting off, orbiting the earth and reentering the atmosphere and landing.

Beyond this, my Crystal Ball is cloudy.  If I am reincarnated as one of Scarlett Johannson's descendants, I will let you know the rest when I get a clearer picture in 2200.
