In one possible future scenario, humans will have full control of human genome engineering. That is, they will be able to eliminate hereditary genetic disorders, or select desirable genetic traits like straight teeth and natural blonde hair.

自然的人类进化仍会起作用，头会变大以容纳更大的大脑，但大多数面部特征将被塑造来反映我们大多数人认为迷人的东西：大眼睛、直挺的鼻梁、面部匀称。
