Transhumanism-1275130The movement, known for its popularity amongst Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs, has been gaining prominence in recent years.

Mr Wood argued there’s a mismatch between human biology, conditioned over thousands of years by evolution, and the destructive potential of the technology we are developing.
