With gene editing, cybernetic enhancements, and synthetic biology, humanity is reshaping its own biology at an unprecedented pace. Some futurists envision a “post-species” future, where enhanced beings diverge so far from current humans that they become a new species entirely.

This raises existential questions about identity, continuity, and what it means to be human. Will “unenhanced” humans become obsolete or marginalized? How do we ethically manage a future where biological diversity includes artificial or hybrid beings?

The post-species society challenges our core ideas about evolution, society, and coexistence.
