If Evolution was allowed to continue undisturbed
What does it mean to you? I am guessing you mean that humans evolve culturally rather than genetically? Why would you not call it evolution, anyway?

  No, I mean “humans continue to evolve genetically, and they never start self-modifying in a way that makes evolution impossible (e.g., by becoming emulations).”
