People are still people, even though the 'past is a foreign country.'

If you are going to argue that people aren't still basically people in the future, with societies we can understand, then aren't you moving well outside Traveller?

If you are saying 'in a million years, the genetically enchanced parahuman heirs of homo sapiens will live on a green Mars, surrounded by the wonders of their sufficiently advanced technology', that's basically the same as me saying ' no, no, by that time we will have divided into Eloi and Morlocks.'
It's wild-eyed speculation.
