I think we'll be wiped out at some point. Probably before any further significant mutations.

@LomeMarsupial Possibly. Life can be hard to eradicate.
I think something we do will destroy us. We keep playing with things we don't understand, and making weapons we can't fully defend against. With the new breakthroughs in AI, it could very likely play a part in all of it.

@VolpeTredici Very possible. These are good thoughts to not 'sweep under the rug.' Thanks for responding. I think the A.I. scenarios are things we may put too much trust into. Sometimes, I think, we forget that we are programming these machines or intelligences based on our own awareness and educations.. which may change anywhere from five to fifty years very deeply. (and are not 'full' or free from deep bias.)
Let's say we programs a.i. to run off our current 'facts' of life, and we then discover a new breakthrough sometime thereafter. These intelligences might already be programmed to go against 'threats' or changes of 'new information,' thus, seeing that we are the threat. Sort of leading to them wiping us out for 'lifehood's own safety.' Somehow I think the frogs will be alright, though. Always have hope for the frogs.
Do you consider a.i. a process of some sort of organic fulfillment? Even a wagon, a sundial or a watermill could be seen as a type of technology.

@LomeMarsupial AI is just a tool. It is to replace basic computers and organic life where we feel that is needed. Who decides where it's needed will be quite powerful. So even before it may pose a threat to the entire race, it may be a very serious problem for lower class people.

I think will stay basically the same.
@Chaoshead Why is that? Technology replacing human need for body-change? Have we reached out evolutionary peak as an organism? What makes you think we will stay the same?

@LomeMarsupial Evolution has occurred primarily because the organism with the most adaptable traits have survived and spread their genes.
However, now with medicine we are keeping almost everyone alive (which is a good thing). This messes with evolution - it's no longer a straightforward process that is constantly progressing.
Sure things that are ubiquitously extraneous - such as our mouths getting smaller(which is currently occurring) due to slicing our meat and not requiring big food sizes - will continue to dissolve. But the major impacts of medicine have made it difficult for large evolutionary changes to occur - even over a grandiose period of time.

it's never changed.
