There were people of all various shapes, sizes, and colours. It was my first time to ever see purple people and angloids. Angloids were taller and had larger brains than normal people. I had read that humanity was diversifying and may in the future even evolve into different species. Many of the space habitats were now operating at below standard earth gravity. Their inhabitants were evolving to become longer as a result. It was suspected that the greater complexity of life in space habitats was also causing humans to evolve bigger brains in places.
I thought it was utterly ridiculous when I read it. The thought that humans could still be going under biological evolution at our high technological level seemed ridiculous but now I wasn’t too sure.
Tabitha was far less fascinated by our surroundings. She held my hand as we drove through the bustling crowds.
“Nearly there,” she said looking back at me.
We turned left, then right through what seemed like a maze of small streets. Each becomes narrower and quieter.
“This is it!” she exclaimed as she pointed at a terraced house in front of us.
It was the first time that I’d seen her smile in some time.
The street had three-story red brick terraced housing on both sides. The one she pointed at looked like all the rest.
