Our number one selective pressure today is disease resistance
that and the ease of gene movement makes speciation unlikely.

That's why I mentioned genetic engineering- I don't mean we'll disappear, but what currently is the standard genus of Homo Sapiens is bound to change as we begin using gene therapy and learn more about or genetic coding to the point that we can make serious changes physiologically
But in any case, 'modern' Humans only appeared about 200,000 years ago, so I don't think it is unrealistic to expect that we'll change significantly over the next few hundred thousand years

Ironically enough,
the right wing IS more likely to view man as having rightful dominion over everything else,
but less likely to believe in evolution, whether it can be accurately characterized as dominance or not (that'd be not).
Left-wingers overwhelmingly accept evolution, yet reject most "might makes right" ethical philosophies.

and we libertarian believe man as having rightful dominion and in evolution

Pretty sure that's not a part of libertarianism.

Social darwinism is a garbage pseudo-scientific interpretation of evolutionary theory. Stop saying "we libertarians" as if every libertarian is supposed to agree with you, cuz I certainly don't. What makes us "superior" to women? Physical strength? Well in that case animals are superior to us since we are slower and weaker than most animals. We survived through sticking together and using our intellect. And no you haven't proven to be smarter than everyone else. most of your posts are oversimplified garbage.
QFT.

social medical evolution is much quicker than genitic evolution.
The 'modern' might not be as meaningful as it seems palentologists are notorious spliters when it comes to species.
but using that definition in 200,000 years man has only changed a smidge.
Fred Flintstone is just as smart as George Jetson.
so taking the current speed 1 smidge in 200,000 year would be 2 smidges in 40,000.
unless
the selective pressures change i.e. global climate change, industrial collapse etc.
or
changes in gene-flow i.e. interplanetary exploration, isolating genetic stock
of course like you say we could just dehumanize ourselves.
