[ExI] Islands of trans-humanity

I doubt this is a novel train of thought... but...

One of the more interesting ways that transhumanism could be "bad" is
the idea that over the next few centuries of transhumanism, different
"species" of human could rapidly evolve (though not through natural
selection, unnaturally) into islands of trans-humans that can no
longer interbreed. By creating this rapidly dividing delta in the
river of hominid divergence, it could create interesting dynamics of
"us" and "them" which could lead to a destructive fragmentation of
society.

I welcome science fiction along these lines...
