BBC NEWS | UK | Human species 'may split in two'

I had to not laugh when I read this:

"The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the 'underclass' humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures. "
