John Maynard Smith and Evolution

The process of evolution is something that pretty much everyone knows about and even though they might not know the exact process in great detail it is something that we've all heard about. It was so interesting to me when John Maynard Smith started to talk about how we have evolved into an intelligent species in not a long period of time relevant to the complete time of evolution. Even though we all know that we have evolved so much I have never thought about if it was possible for our species to evolve once again into an even more intelligent species.

I also thought it was interesting when they started to talk about if our species were to ever evolve into a super human type of species. Like part computer part human. Even though it seems like a far fetched idea, is it really that impossible? Especially if you compare what our species started as to what we have become now over several million years. I believe that the more we learned over those millions of years we were able to slowly evolve into the species we are today. So if we just keep learning and keep discovering over the next couple million years whats not to say that we would become the people John Maynard Smith was saying that we might become. After all, even comparing the time from now until when I could remember technology has changed immensely. So the difference from now to a couple million years should be expected to be astonishing.
