Transhumanism is a not a recent idea although it has not yet become a main stream topic of conversation among proletariat society even as it becomes more directed at such people.
The idea of creating better human beings through a variety of means has long been at play throughout history.
At the most basic level of creating better or purposeful human beings is the act of selective breading. Selective breading can be easily observed and researched throughout history by simply focusing on the monarchs and social elite of each period in time.
The first person to use the term "Transhumanism" was a biologist named Julian Huxley. Julian Huxley was a humanist and believed natural selection to be the driving force of evolution.
Would it be a co-incidence that another main player in the open "cons" "piracy" for transhumanism, Aldo Huxley, Julian Huxley's brother, wrote a very revealing novel in 1932 titled "Brave New World"? This supposed insight into a possible future of mankind was heavily based on the ideas of transhumanism.
Since the 1930's, transhumanism can be seen to be making a slow yet persistent inroad into main stream society and is now regarded as a natural progression in the evolution of humanity.
In more recent times with the help of the scientific elite more serious and long lasting introductions to transhumanism have been imagined and manufactured.
Here is where we should begin to ask questions such as:
What is evolution, which persons idea was it? See Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin, Julian Huxley, Sir Galton Darwin.
What can evolution be used for in society? See Social Darwinism, The Ruling Elite's right to Rule, George Orwell's novel "1984". Also see Eugenics.
What could transhumanist technology be used for, other than helping the sick or injured? See "Brain Chip", Arthur Koestler's 1967 non-fiction work "Ghost in the machine", The Wachowski Brothers film "The Matrix".
