Abstract

The article analyzes the main views on the future of humans and their health. The idea discussed in the paper that the most promising anthropological paradigm is the view of a human as a creature with significant latent evolutionary potential. The authors substantiate the existence of the phenomenon of “reviving innovation.” Up to this date, it is most clearly represented in the field of agriculture and medicine, when the most progressive are traditional knowledge associated with a new technological structure and scientific research. Empirical arguments are made in favor of the position that opposes transhumanism. The author argues that the phenomenon of reviving innovation is widespread in culture. This innovation just allows one to show the hidden evolutionary potential in a person while maintaining his/her identity.
