The human genealogy is a diverse family tree that traces our origins from the Austropithicus from Africa to the Homo Sapiens of today. The evolution of the human species suddenly ended after the emergence of the Homo Sapiens--approx. 500,000 years ago with the last remaining Neanderthal dying out circa 40,000 years ago. Is it plausible to think that Homo Sapiens will extinct as a "Species" with the introduction of far more superior hybrid of humans in the next million years? If so, are we gradually evolving as we speak?

No, we are very successful the way we are.

Yes, If we are smart enough to allow our self to live long enough we will evolve in to something else. It don't mean we will evolve up. We could back slide because to make it we might need to have a thicker cote over our skin and may need to learn to see in the dark. We may need to be able to eat raw meat. It is hard to tell what is to come but you can bet we will change. If we better our world and our self's we might end up with skinny arms and legs and a great big head to hold our brain because we will change our liefs to just be button pushers or maybe put devices inside our skin on our skull so we can just think and things happen.
But I myself think we will kill our self out long before we see a million years. If we are lucky we will find a way to get to a new planet before we destroy this one.

I think our brains will evolve to become more efficient than they already are... since our species became dominate because our brains became more developed than all other species.
Therefore, to keep up with evolution, I would imagine we would naturally do this... or kill ourselves in a nuclear halocaust.
I'm willing to bet on killing ourselves within the next million years than anything else... probably due to 1. Oil or 2. in the name of God.

Possibly..
Not much enviromental pressure to make us evolve but

Never say never....

Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn't really occupy any of the top one million things for me to think of or worry about. God Bless you.
