You should be very afraid of this. The aristocrats only need us for 2 things: births and work. If they can get both from technology, they will wipe us out.
I’ve been thinking about the sexual evolution of humanity, and what the future holds. These are my notes so far.
🧬 The Y Chromosome Through History
1. 200 million years ago (origin of Y):
• Y was robust, with hundreds of genes.
• Strong sexual dimorphism in early mammals → heavy hormone-driven reproduction.
2. 50–10 million years ago:
• Y begins rapid shrinkage as recombination is lost.
• Many genes move to autosomes for stability.
• Sex determination narrows down to a tiny “switch” gene (SRY).
3. Early human evolution (~2 million years ago):
• Testosterone levels high, fueling aggression, hunting, territoriality.
• Dimorphism stronger: men bigger, more violent; women smaller, fertility-focused.
4. Agricultural & early civilizations (~10,000–2,000 years ago):
• Gradual decline in baseline testosterone (archeological bone density & facial structure show this).
• Social systems, laws, and culture begin to replace raw hormone competition.
5. Modern era (last 100–200 years):
• Measurable drop in average testosterone levels in men (~1% per year in some studies since the 1970s).
• Environmental disruptors (plastics, diet, stress) amplify the decline.
• Social emphasis shifts from raw reproduction/competition → collaboration, cognition, tech.
6. Today → Future:
• Y is down to ~55 active genes (vs ~1000+ on the X).
• Testosterone is at historically low baselines, especially in younger cohorts.
• Humanity is already leaning toward a post-dimorphic, post-hormonal baseline.

⚡ Negentropic Reading
• The shrinking Y and falling testosterone are parallel signs: nature is phasing out chaos-driven reproduction.
• What replaces it? Stability, cognition, intentionality — humanity evolving away from hormonal compulsion toward conscious design.
So scientists have officially just kicked off the „Synthetic Human Genome Project“
„The Human Genome Project enabled scientists to read all human genes like a bar code. The new work that is getting under way, called the Synthetic Human Genome Project, potentially takes this a giant leap forward – it will allow researchers not just to read a molecule of DNA, but to create parts of it – maybe one day all of it – molecule by molecule from scratch.“
Basically scientists want to be able to manufacture a whole human genome from scratch, this is their ultimate goal, and in doing so they’ll a learn a lot about the human genome that we currently don’t know. Because there is still much about human genetics we don’t understand.
For instance, we still don’t know exactly which genes encode for intelligence though they postulate there could be hundreds of genes in the human genome that control for IQ level in a given person. They also think there could be hundreds of genes responsible for height. These are called polygenic traits, traits that are controlled not by a single gene buy by multiple genes.
Someday we’ll identify these genes and then most likely, we’ll start gene editing human embryos and then put these gene edited human embryos into an artificial womb to gestate for 9 months, what they call ectogenesis, a baby that gestates outside the human body. It’s entirely sci-fi (for now).
The future’s gonna be wild!!!
