- hpeter 3y agoThe question is, when will humanity become wise enough to catch up with the technology? Probably never.
- Weryj 3y agoWise enough, never. Smart enough, we already are. Sadly, we're not both at the same time and the results are in one of the Sci-fi books.
- z3t4 3y agoIt would probably only take one or two generations to adapt, if the offspring dies before reproductive age - evolution is cruel, but it can be effective.
- macintux 3y agoEvolution takes a lot longer than a couple of generations to make effective changes.
- airstrike 3y agoUnfortunately bacteria reproduce and evolve much faster than we can, so for practical purposes we likely can't really genetically engineer our way out of this
