‘The human PHENome «Aufheben»-Overcoming the human GENome’.

“... Terran human «species» history can be viewed, from one vantage, as a progression of re-iterated, continually-advancing, ever-deepening interventions of ‘the human phenome’ into ‘‘‘the human genome’’’, beginning with simple learning itself, with the passing-on of that learning from generation to generation via ‘exo-somatic’, non-chromosomal, cultural means.  It even includes aberrant selective human [in-]breeding programs of certain ruling aristocracies, supposedly modeled on the selective breeding and ‘‘‘artificial selection’’’ of livestock and of other domesticated animals and plants. ... We predict that this progression will continue to the point of the self-transformation of Terran human «species» ontology into a ‘META-human’ «species» ontology, via deliberate self-re-engineering of ‘‘‘the human genome’’’, as mediated by and through ‘the human phenome’, via its technologies.”
