Another such visionary of this is Stellarc who believes that throughout time everything evolves including us has a species. Thousands of years ago we walked on four legs as primates do; now we stand tall over the animal kingdom. He argues that you as an individual don’t actually believe that we are at the peak or ideal form of our species; it states we are far from it. He believes the next step is to evolve biotechnologically rather than organically. He believes that in the future our bodies will harbour various machinery and materials to allow us to do things at the moment we can only dream of. For example some kind of synthetic material could replace skin, giving all skins advantages such as strength and flexibility but without the weakness to heat and cold. This is known as his “Utopian future” where he believes humans will have to overcome nature using technology to evolve to the next step making their lives easier and more vibrant.
