Mr. Stolyarov addresses the argument that indefinite life would lead humans to live to a time when their distant descendants will have evolved far superior capacities than themselves, which might lead the original long-living humans to be at a severe disadvantage. This scenario is unlikely to occur because technological evolution proceeds at a much faster rate than biological evolution and is much more directed as well. As a result of technological evolution, human beings will be able to modify their bodies and even their genomes to keep up with any kinds of beneficial innovations or beneficial mutations that occur as a result of biological evolution.
