Human Genetic Evolution

This site is easy to follow and very clear. The part that interests me most is how humans evolved from archaic homo sapiens to Homo sapiens sapiens. It seems possible that the replacement model and the regional continuity model are both valid.
I wonder about how we homo sapiens sapiens will continue to evolve. For some reason, I keep thinking about the Eloi (future humans) in The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

The Time Machine...totally. I also thought about Planet of the Apes when reading about the chimp/human classification articles. Its interesting how science fiction influences science. Or perhaps the other way around.
