We are living in a more globalized world where a diaspora of people from one country to the other has transformed society. Massive population transfer has also brought in demographic changes as well as genetic changes as people from different racial and cultural backgrounds have converged thereby producing more and more mixed-race communities.

Ever imagined putting different fruits in a blender and let it transform into a mixed-flavored fruit smoothie? Well let's think of a real-world thought experiment that may become a reality in the future. What would happen if humanity as we know it becomes one homogenous multiracial group where all diversity of people ceases to exist? What will happen if all possible genome combination are in a single individual and multiply it 10-20 billion times? Imagine the future human genetics and how we would probably look like.


Perhaps, we will evolve in a different type of human species just as the way we differentiated ourselves from the Homo Neanderthalis and the Homo Erectus. Will we have bigger eyes like the aliens we see on television and movies? Will we change our skin color like the "blue-skinned" descendants of a French immigrant named Martin Fugate living near his original settlement on the banks of Troublesome Creek in Kentucky.

We may look like the composite image of all human faces combined to the point that all humans will look the same in the future. All of us may have our own barcodes to differentiate ourselves with other. Since humans will be cloned by then with the best possible traits, we will all be tagged, indexed and categorized.
