This is a somewhat controversial documentary concerning the future course of human evolution.
Homo Futurus is a controversial because it presents a theory regarding the mechanism driving the evolution of humans from primates to modern man that is distinctly non-Darwinian. The theory being proposed challenges the presently accepted evolutionary premise that genetic mutations and environmental pressures are the prime influencers for natural selection. It also speculates on humanity’s long term future evolutionary path. So prepare to take a glimpse at the faces of our descendants.
The French palaeoanthropologist, Anne Dambricourt Malassé, featured in Homo Futurus, was associated with an organisation called UIP. It is a French institute dedicated to promoting Intelligent Design. – The idea that evolution is following a trajectory leading to greater and greater complexity is not unique to Intelligent Design. In fact you find it hinted at in such fields as diverse as Artificial Life and SETI.
