Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.

Re: Partly human yeast show a common ancestor's lasting legacy
"Natural selection" is a execrably bestial and racialist dogma based upon white colored skin's suitability for less sunny climates. This is why the subtitle of Darwin's doctrine of evolution is "the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." The true nature of humanity's evolution is our species' unique and evolving power over the energetic forces of nature, starting with our control of fire. Today, we have control of nuclear fission, soon, if we don't outlaw scientific progress altogether, we will have control over thermonuclear fusion, and next in that sequence will be matter/anti-matter reactions. After that we can only speculate. Thus there is a series of provable non-linear quantum leaps in our species' potential to use ever more powerful sources of energy to expand our well being into the limitless future. You won't find this uniquely human quality in any genetic mechanism.
