We'd only likely see huge consequences like that if we went outside the normal range of human variation. I agree that evolution would find single gene swaps with huge effects, but most of the variation available to us is over hundreds or thousands of genes making incremental effects. This is why I think we're probably first going go be able to effect marginal shifts in the overall distribution of these traits, not large jumps.
- lanstin 7y agobearing in mind that large jumps have different causes than marginal improvements, I'd agree. And I'm putting my money on the Ship Minds anyways. Biology seems too complex for even top humans. : )
