Honestly, the primary selection pressure in modern society is intelligence as far as I can tell. The more intelligent we are, the more we can manipulate our environment to adapt to our needs instead of the other way round.

Therefore, I say we continue to grow in intelligence until we come to the point where we can easily evolve ourselves! Disease resistance, physical characteristics, better sensory perception etc. If you want to go completely sci-fi, maybe we'll figure out how to go without sleep or make it so that we photosynthesise.

Evolution in the future will be whatever we want it to be.
