In The Time Machine - Millennia Of Subjugation Of The Working Class By The Aristocracy Has Caused A Biological Split Of The Species. By The Year 802701 - The Aristocracy Have Become The Eloi - Small - Androgynous Beings With Large - Dull Eyes And Limited Intellect. They Are The Product Of Biological Engineering - And For Millennia Did Not Have To Struggle To Survive. Meanwhile - The Working Class Have Evolved Into Morlocks - Blind Monsters That Live Underground And Resurface At Night To Eat The Eloi. Wells Presents Morlocks As The Very Antithesis Of Human Progress - And Finished The Evolution Of Primates Into Man By Once Again Reverting Into Primates. The Time Traveler Instantly Despises The Morlocks - Aligning Himself Instead With The Elfish Descendants Of His Aristocratic Dinner Guests. The Separation Of The Species Into Eloi And Morlocks Is Used As A Critique On Capitalism And The Social Division Of Aristocrats And Laborers. Wells Draws On Social Darwinism As A Frame For Thinking About How The Species Will Evolve As The Strong Continue To Persist And Dominate. In The Time Traveller's Own Time - Distinctions Between Classes Are Still Socially Constructed - But Wells Predicts That Millennia Of Oppression Will Transform These Artificial Divisions Into An Evolutionary Split. Eventually - The Oppressed Will Become Predators Who Prey On Their Frail Oppressors. The Evolution Of Mankind Into The Animal-Like Morlocks And Eloi Demonstrates Wells's Atavism - Suggesting That Man Is Regressing And Nature Will Have The Final Ability To Determine The Future Of Humanity.
