Diamandis admits that this might sound too far out there for most people. He is convinced, however, that we are evolving towards what he calls \u201cmeta-intelligence,\u201d and today\u2019s exponential rate of growth is one clear indication.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/singularityhub.com\/2016\/12\/21\/exponential-growth-will-transform-humanity-in-the-next-30-years\/\">In an essay for Singularity Hub<\/a>, Diamandis outlines the transformative stages in the multi-billion year pageant of evolution, and takes note of what the recent increasing \u201ctemperature\u201d of evolution\u2014a consequence of human activity\u2014may mean for the future. The story, in a nutshell, is this\u2014early prokaryotic life appears about 3.5 billion years ago (bya), representing perhaps a symbiosis of separate metabolic and replicative mechanisms of \u201clife;\u201d at 2.5 bya, eukaryotes emerge as composite organisms incorporating biological \u201ctechnology\u201d (other living things) within themselves; at 1.5 bya, multicellular metazoans appear as eukaryotes are yoked together in cooperative colonies; and at 400 million years ago, vertebrate fish species emerge onto land to begin life\u2019s adventure beyond the seas.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/peter-diamandis-thinks-were-evolving-toward-meta-intelligence\/\">https:\/\/futurism.com\/peter-diamandis-thinks-were-evolving-to...elligence\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Brief Peter Diamandis, founder and chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, thinks the human species is headed for an evolutionary transformation.
