HG Wells Treated as Actual Science

The Daily Mail has this story, about Dr Oliver Curry‘s theory that the human race will split into two different species,

an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures

The two will be called, no doubt, the Eloi and the Morlocks…
This is worse than the Manbearpigs of Algore’s global warming, this is plagiarism of FICTION calling itself science. What really takes the cake, though, is Dr Curry’s research was funded by

men’s satellite TV channel Bravo.

You know, TV’s home of such serious scholarship as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, West Wing re-runs and James Lipton. This article is either 6 months early for April Fools Day 08 or 6 months late for this year.
In case you were wondering:

Dr Curry’s research interests are focussed on evolutionary explanations of human nature, especially moral and political thought and behaviour as well as the implications for social sciences especially moral and political theory.

This is a pretty good example of the kind of science you get from a Poly-sci prof at an economics school.
