Once upon a time
Future Humans Predicted to Build Colonies in the Deep Sea
Climate change makes anyone unlikely to turn their backs on the ocean. Instead of avoiding some scientists say we should stay on the ocean floor alone.

That's the kind of imaginary human who lives under the sea, aka "piscine humanoid" as called kryptozoologi enthusiasts. Such stories are very rich in fiction and folk legend. The storyteller has long told the story of humans hiding deep in the forest or among the stars, as well as the secret civilizations that settled under the waves of rivers, seas, oceans, to lakes.

In "ABYSSAL", a science fiction story written by Lorraine Scheine, piscine humanoid is the result of a re-imagination of the Anthropicene era. As climate change around the globe, ice blocks in the north poles melt, sea levels rise, floods and typhoons become more intense, and a community will sink in the near future.

Schein views these trends in an extreme way, exploring future possibilities. The main character of this story is named Katexa, one of "the few remaining human beings to fight the rising sea level," with his family. These latter survivors value life on land with high integrity, and promise not to ignore their declining patches, terra firma. "We can continue to be human, as long as we stay on land," her mother told Katexa.

Not all humans who live in the underwater world ala Schein make the same commitment to care for terrestrial life. Rumors are circulating when there is "a human continent from the ground trying to build a colony under the sea." By evolving dramatically into underwater humans, human possibilities survive when the sea level continues to rise.

Katexa against tradition, decided to join these creatures. He refused to obey his family's determination to stay on land until it was swallowed by the ocean waves.

This kind of scenario is not only in fiction. Many scientists have speculated that humans would one day colonize other areas of Planet Earth either to survive or voluntarily. For example, the term Homo spaciens describes human speculation in the future that is adapted to extraterrestrial or other planets. While the concept of explorers with the ability to bertepepati explore whether an individual's consciousness can be maintained in the body of the robot.

Referring to the evolutionary human background, we can now only send tetrapod from under the ocean. It is not impossible to imagine our descendants in the future living in different forms, perhaps even within a body frame that can adapt under the sea. After all, we have many distant cousins ​​of mammals-like dolphins, sea lions, and whales-which he says are back under the sea after hundreds of years on the land.

"ABYSSAL" pours our admiration with merpeople to dramatize the environmental challenges that humanity will face over the next few centuries. Coupled with horrible portraits of underwater life, this story forces us to remember how our bodies are so important to humanity's continuation.
