the Merging of man and machine into one unit will be "the biggest evolution in biology" from the inception of life on Earth four billion years ago, says Professor Yuval Noah Harari from Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In an interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph, he noted that wealthy people will become cyborgs are already about 200 years.

His research Noah Harari has dedicated a separate book in which considers the history of mankind. In his bold predictions that very soon the people will have control over mortality and to "become as gods". The difference between the people of those eras and the current generation of mankind will be comparable with the difference that now exists between humans and chimpanzees.

according to the Professor, the main role in the process of bio-mechanical evolution will be devoted to the characteristics of a person where he is always dissatisfied with something and strives for the best. For this reason, people won't be able to resist the temptation to "modify" themselves: how genetic engineering and inorganic technologies.

the "We are programmed to be unhappy," says the scientist. — Even when we enjoy, we are not enough. We want more and more."

However, after 200 years of immortal cyborgs will become only the wealthy earthlings. The main difference between different social strata of the population would be in the possibility to use advanced technologies: the rich can live forever while the poor will die, just like their ancestors.
