 | Transhumanism describes an emergent school of speculative philosophy which is predicated on the idea that the human species does not represent the endpoint of evolution but rather the beginning of a new self-directed evolutionary era, sometimes referred to as the post-Darwinian era. |
| Transhumanism is also concerned with investigation into the implications of social, technological and scientific means of overcoming physical human limitations, and is also a movement which argues the case for fundamentally altering the human condition through these means. |
| Transhumanism maintains that this is good and that humans can and should become more than human through the application of such technological innovations as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, neuropharmaceuticals, prosthetic enhancements and mind-machine interfaces. |
