To think that biological species development is the only kind seems... extremely simplistic.

I personally believe that we've simply replaced normal biological evolution with technological evolution. The advances in technology that we now take for granted could only be explained to someone unfamiliar with them in widescale terms of species effect.
Is the difference between a furry chicken and a feathered chicken really as significant as the difference between a socially networked internet-capable human society and a human society which doesn't even have spoken language?

beware all these round numbers, i have a hunch, that the more 'progressive' people consider themselves, the lower their 'estimate' for an ideal world population will be.
ie: mainstream PR: 3 billion
'intellectuals': 1 billion
'elites': 500 million
keepers of the inner circle (or whatever): 50 million
high priests: 666k or 144k (somewhere in that ballpark)
The 'all seeing eye': Zero
