If man survived until year 8511 (or much more) where will we get to evolution wise?

Taking evolution was just a random crap shoot with no direction, just a lucky zap of electricity at the right time on the right pile of primordial ooze that just happen to contain the right enzymes evolution should always be in flux. Just as the plankton gave way to the tadpole that gave way to the sea snake, to the croc, to the ape to man (supposingly). If man survived another 10k, 35k, 85k, etc by evolution mankind would have changed to some degree that can be measured; what would that be? Taller, fatter, less hairy, more blind, living only to age 65 on average or living passed 160yrs? After all evolution (as it is played in text books) have one direction and that seem to be up or improving, so how is mankind to improve and how will the species going to get better and how? Men having babies, no one having babies and they are spawned from pods, what?
