Ideal carrier

What is the meaning of human existence? One of the most reasonable and most popular version claims that the meaning in the preservation and improvement of the species. This principle is the basis of evolution, allowing you to create, improve and maintain the types and forms of life that are most suited to the environmental conditions. Due to what they are best? What exactly defines the next generation as a healthy, capable, committed? Only that their ancestor was quite tenacious, that would give birth. Moreover, the body acts not only as a support but also better information creator. Feature is that not only the genes affect our way of life, dictating certain predisposition in the organism, but also changes the way of living organism genes. But more about that another time ...
Man carries (roughly) the transmitter function. We transfer information from one generation to the next with minimal deformation for the better. This mechanism allowed to grow new species, making them perfect past. Moreover, perfection is not only quantitative or qualitative characteristics of the building. The essence of the evolutionary predisposition lies in the ability to adapt, to be labile, flexible, well interacting with the world.
But what do we have today? Man has evolved so much that can neutralize a certain genetic predisposition, with the help of external factors. We can rapidly increase the weight, strength, mental performance potential and a lot of other necessary factors. And their "need" is not due so survival as our personal interest.
The man was the best of the species as a carrier of information. At first we kept it in the genes, but later learned to use the brain as a new "store" and "source" data. Later, we began to make too much information to the outside, keeping her without the use of biological agents. We do not need to mark territory secretions, nibbling the trees or leave trails of pheromones. Yes, and the information itself has become worn somewhat different character. Yes, the system of signs, speak about the physiological needs - was modified and complicated, but apart from that we collect, store, improved information on the world. And here we can speak about the following paradox. We no longer need to be a carrier of information in the DNA structure.
Man has learned to recreate themselves, to grow their own kind in the tubes, with the possibility of their formation at the gene level directly in the development. But it is still not approved, not popular and, as a consequence, is not a reliable way to preserve the evolutionary sequence. It is because he is not popular, we still remain human, we still continue to exist as a people. After that, if we can simulate the human "responsibility"? After all, we will no longer need evolution, if we start the mass cultivation of "super-beings." It was at this point we cease to be carriers of DNA and become its creators.
Store information about humanity "outside" itself to create improved versions of human or rebuild their own bodies ... The human imagination knows no boundaries, and we may even be able to realize them.
