El último sapiens

Although it seems science fiction, it is not: it is science; For the first time in human history, Homo sapiens is in a position to deliberately alter the course of his own species and become the last sapiens. In the words of Professor Pedro Guillén, "the sequencing of the human genome and gene manipulation lead us to an unprecedented evolutionary leap. The world will soon cease to be as we know it, and probably very different from what we could ever achieve to imagine". And, as Dr. Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte maintains in the pages of this book, "we are in a position to alter evolution, instead of patiently waiting for nature to take its course. We have to be very aware of what this means or it can represent for human life. I don't know where we are headed, but I sense that what we do now can change the human species, all organisms, all forms of life on Earth."
