Editing A Future Imperfect (section)

==='''The Changed'''===

The effect is, essentially, as if someone reset certain portions of the genetic memory of human DNA. The 'changes' look, generally on the surface as if people have thrown back to specific homo sapiens subspecies, or even further back.

For example, there are 'Strongs', folk much stronger than normal without increased muscle mass. The most common accompanying mutation is fused wristbones. Similarly, 'smarts'' often have underdeveloped physiques due to the glycogen demands of their enhanced brains.

But what about the people with photosynthetic hair, or the ones who's melanin goes from albino white [at night] through to deep black at midday? What about the people who see the future or can read your feelings?

There are two popular pseudoscientific beliefs
*Whatever this genetic coding unlocks, it is not only from our past, but our genetically potential future
*Human ancestors were a lot more complicated than archaeology has managed to discover.

As has been noted, these two ideas are not contradictory.
