Humanity 2.0?

Humanity is constantly reinventing itself. From the earliest days of our species, when one of our ancestors picked up a burning stick and kindled it into a fire, to the present day, when we search for the ‘god particle’ and clone sheep, cats, dogs and more, humans have been altering their environment and shaping the world around them. the history of our species is a stream of discoveries— major and minor—which have allowed us to progress and direct, to some extent, the course of our evolution. Probably the most important technological advances in recent history have been those produced by biomedical science. Our ever-increasing understanding of human biology, and the consequent ability to treat and prevent disease, have improved healthcare phenomenally during the past century. the emerging medical technologies suggest even greater possibilities for the relatively near future such as stem-cell therapy and regenerative medicine, genetic manipulation and new pharmacological agents.
