Is there any evidence of the kind of sympatric speciation event described going on? Humans are a happily interbreeding group, with no hint of the separation of genetic classes corresponding to this prediction emerging, or that real-world human beings make mate choices as simplistic as that, or that the people who best fit those stereotypes are at all superior in reproduction.

Seems like at least a few people took this seriously, despite of that fact that the guy who wrote the original article [via news.bbc.co.uk] isn't a biologist. But hey, if I want to believe in a future where all the women have "smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features" then I'll bloody well do it
