Without a doubt it seems that, despite the great advances that we are experiencing in terms of science and technology, to give an example and as human beings, according to a study recently published in one of the most reputable magazines of today such as can be Frontiers in Physiology, it seems that finally we have reached our limit as human beings.
With this, those responsible for this study do not go on to refer to whether or not we will be able to continue evolving, achieving new goals in terms of technological milestones or in other fields, far from it, but rather that as a species, on a physical level, finally and according to science itself, the human being as a species will not continue to evolve. To explain a little all this that I have just exposed and according to examples of the researchers who have worked on the study, for example, we will literally no longer be able to live longer, nor will we be able to be stronger or healthier with respect to the levels that we have achieved at this moment in human history.
As human beings and according to a recent study, we have finally reached our limit
To put this a bit in perspective, I would like you to take a look back for a moment and compare the standard of living that we lead now, not on technical or economic levels, with what our ancestors lived for example 100 or 200 years ago. Surely you will realize very quickly that at this moment in history we are stronger, we are healthier and, to continue with the example, we live much longer.
With this in mind, surely you understand much better the conclusions reached in the study to which I alluded in higher lines, where apparently the scientists who have been in charge of its development comment that finally, as human beings, we have reached a point where the our body seems to have reached the limit of its possibilities. What this indicates is that, as a civilization, it will no longer be possible to improve the human being, at least without the help of machines.
In the words of François Toussaint, one of the scientists who participated in the study and a professor at the Descartes University in Paris:
These traits no longer increase, despite continued nutritional, medical, or scientific advancement. This suggests to us the idea that modern societies have allowed our species to reach its limit. We are the first generation to become aware of it.
The human being, at this time, must begin to set new goals to improve their level and quality of life
If we take into account the conclusions reached by this study, that is, that the human being alone will no longer be able to continue evolving and achieving new goals, the experts propose certain examples where they can test their hypotheses. Apparently in just a few years, at the sporting level, we will realize that it will be much more difficult for us to break certain world records although it is assured that the athletes will gradually reach these heights and their times will be very similar.
The definitive idea, at this point, would be to focus no longer on continuing to evolve as a species, something that could be achieved thanks to the use and intervention of different machines, but we should start spending all these resources on investigating in the search of cures for diseases that now shorten life expectancy for many citizens.
This will be the next great goal that scientists will set when the time comes, a challenge for all humanity with which to achieve that Anyone in the world can reach old age and old age without suffering complications in their life, an issue that is still pending but that, perhaps sooner than we imagine, may become a reality.
