Questions:

1. What is your response to the film you just saw? How might anthropologists be helpful to societies in the future concerning culture, economy, politics, technologies, or science, etc?

2. Based on current technologies, knowledge, environments, etc. how do you think current human beings might evolve (mutate) over the next few hundred years? If we are able to “shape” our genes/future mutations, what should or should we not “shape?” How might social scientists’ impact how humans might shape or mutate? Support your position/ideas with research information from our textbook and other academic resources (and reference/cite).
