Survival of the Fittest

David Blaine survived after being immersed in water for 177 hours and attempting to break the world record for holding his breath underwater.They said he was doing this to test his physical, mental and emotional endurance.
This morning while driving to work we discussed the possibility of the evolution of a more tolerant species if the likes of David Blaine united and gave birth to a new generation. Is evolution too in our hands?
What would the evolved species be called? Still couldn't think of a good scientific name. From Homo-Erectus to Home-Sapiens and the subspecies Home Sapien Sapiens to ? That means a few centuries later we will be considered a primitive species with a less developed brain and our fossils will decorate museum shelves with a sign: "Home Sapien: The Ancient Man" !!!!!

Another interesting fact discussed- the current population of the world is 10% of all the humans that have ever existed on this planet. Now thats a big number. Are there enough resources to support this ever growing population? Will we face a global oxygen crisis someday?

P.S: To-dos: plant a seed every year

People like David Blane irritate me. the idea of an entire human race descending from someone like him makes me sick. Or maybe i dont know enough about him.

I do not like or dislike him. I was talking about the possibility of evolving by developing extra ordinary strength and stamina by practice. Today he has the ability to be underwater for longer than a normal human. He has developed this through practice. There might be someone who has the ability to levitate more than a normal human, also through practice. These traits passed on to next generations could lead to a species of humans by "natural selection" who will have a greater capacity to tolerate staying underwater or levitate.

I agree with Anonymous. I think David Blaine is just a showman, with gimmicks, feeding on our hunger for drama.

There are many other who are examples for the same.
