Humanity 2.0 is often discussed here at Anthrobotic, and this here from Juan is yet another proclamation that we’re on the verge of truly owning skills that will allow us to design ourselves and those who come after us.
Juan Enriquez, futurist, investor, writer, says the ability to re-engineer living things and engineer entirely new ones is far and away the biggest thing since a bunch of other big things (even bigger than the industrial revolution). There’s a thought provoking interview on genomics and other tech after the jump – have a read, yo.

Indeed – in fact, here’s a piece on the Bio-Curious!
