I don't think you will have to wait a 500 or 1000 years let alone 100 million years to see unimaginable changes to the human species, physically and intellectually. The next steps in the evolution of our species are happening now, to where we will eventually merge with our technologies. Perhaps the only thing that may stop this happening will be an unforseen impact on our planet - literally, simply because we don't fund research at a level equal to the outcomes of the threat. I have no doubt we will much sooner than later conquer diseases known and unknown and that wars will become nothing more than local skirmishes that will also become less and less frequent as democracy fails us and one world government (call it what you will) has to take control and, in light of the current financial disaster and the looming derivatives time bomb catastrophe leaving potentially billions starving this may have to happen within the next 50 years. Anyways when humans do eventually and inevitably merge with our technologies I have no doubt we will not go through much of the nonsense that we now do.
