It seems like creating superhumans just became easier. I wouldn't doubt it if in a few years someone or some country creates superhumans and a society to rule the world. Remember there's only a 1-2% difference in genes that differentiates us from the apes. As NDT puts it, what would a human (he uses aliens as an example) be like with genes that are just slightly altered that puts their intelligence at a level higher than ours as ours is to apes?
AFAICT the majority of humans are no better than any other organism in nature that competes against members of its own species (or other species) for survival. Maybe these superhumans, rather than being evil will finally understand this and help the rest of humanity.

Has this ever happened before? Any time any group of hominids has had an edge over another that they shared space with, it's pretty much resulted in subjugation or extermination. We're really, really bad at tolerating those who are nearly the same.
