Powerful race breeding a better human

+0
−0

So some magical human-like creatures called Altum come from another continent (in my book) to this human populated continent (both are about the size of Europe). They want to help humans become a better species morally and physically, so they decide to breed humans into better ones. They can live for about 7,000 years, and the project starts with one million humans at the beginning, 50% males, 50% females. They are looking and breeding them for the ones who show the best of these:

  • Physical: strength, speed, agility along with the best scenes (eyesight, hearing, etc.) to create a better built human.
  • Health: longest predicted lifespan, immunity do diseases.
  • Mentally: ones that are mentally stable and have the highest amount of the best chemicals in their brain for example serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, and glutamate.
  • Mentally (2): best IQ along with how well they can adapt and absorb information.
  • Genetics: best genetics means best survival in the natural world.
  • Sex: the humans will compete for the best chance of the best mate.

The humans would be put in an large environment that would stimulate them for survival of the fittest but also be social. Some kind of forest were they have to run around and survive from predators (for the physical part) but every year the Altum would appear to them and test them in everything else then organize the mating pairs. The humans think they are gods, but they're not. The Altum would watch from afar and dispatch the worst except when they were testing them.

The Altum's goal is to create the best human possible. With all these things, could these people make a smarter, stronger human in 1000 years?
