Most certainly, humans will continue to adapt and evolve according to their environment.
If you look at, and believe in, evolution you will see that the skull of the modern Homo sapien is smaller than than it predecessors. Also several vestigial organs may cease to be part of our anatomy as we evolve (wisdom teeth, appendix, tail bone).
Of course this assumes we are going to survive as a species for 200,000 years.

Yes, most people will be brown. There will be fewer Caucasians and Africans. There will be a huge cap between the rich and the powerful. The rich will be genetically manipulating their genes to have the best children. A large majority of the poor will be unhealthy and sick most the time.
There will be a class or soldiers and policemen. Genetically manipulated to follow orders and commands from the rich and powerful. There wont be any need for robots. Cause there will be billions of poor hungry unhealthy people to do all the labor.
So, in 200,000 years it'll be easy to tell humans apart. They will be the brown genetically superior humans. Then a mix of "normal" humans.

Yes I certainly believe that humans will continue to evolve. Considering that:
1) Humans have been evolving for the longest time why do you think it will stop suddenly when other things in the world are also changing and we need to adapt.
2) Technology, and other environmental factors are already cause changing in ppl so then we are currently in a process of evolution. Things that took us 20 years to learn or kids will learn in 5.
3) I read in article that evolution is still continuing.... you can listen to the documentary http://economist.com/specialreports/specialreportslist.cfm?category=455024
Its under "THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND" This was a very interesting article for those you are interesting in history or evolustion.

Humans already look different; I see no reason why they should start looking alike in only 200,000 years, unless somebody perfects the perfect clonal human within that time period.

Yes, evolution will drastically alter us as a species, and there is a very good chance that humanity will not exist 200,000 years from now (at least not on earth).

Especially since earth might not exist in 200,000 years from now.
