In his epic poem, Savitri, Sri Aurobindo vividly describes a new race of humanity emerging on Earth, as different from humans today as we have ever been to the evolutions that have preceded us:
...I saw them cross the twilight of an age, The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn, Great creators with wide brows of calm, The massive barrier-breakers of the world, Laborers in the quarries of the gods… The architects of immortality. Into the fallen human sphere they came, Faces that wore the Immortal's glory still… Bodies made beautiful by the spirit's light… Carrying the Dionysian cup of joy, Lips chanting an unknown anthem of the soul, Feet echoing in the corridors of Time. High priests of wisdom, sweetness, might, and bliss; Discoverers of beauty's sunlit ways… Their tread one day shall change the suffering earth And justify the light on Nature's face. (Savitri, pp. 343–4) Sri Aurobindo seemed to indicate that a new genus or species is emerging among us. We have a ways to go before this will happen, however. He saw that there would have to be a transitional species before the true supramental species was able to enter the rarefied realms of a purified Earth. He saw that each successive generation would carry this evolutionary potential further, and that we would develop through the "human human" stage up to the "overhuman" stage before the "supramental being" could be anchored into the "true physical" realm of fourth dimensional matter.
