Interesting point: Humanity evolved to a point, by changing itself, adapting to it's enviroment, until recently (in terms of evolution), where it became more intelligent, learning to use tools, eventually learning to adapt it's enviroment to it, even going so far as to create entirely new enviroments, unlike anything else (the internet).
I think we are still evolving. People will become more and more adept at adapting their enviroment. Those that can't, will be left behind.
There is also some stuff I can't quite remember well enough to elaborate on, about humanity becoming more connected, ideas being shared faster and faster, till people all know things simultainiously, becoming one large being, one collective entity. This could be that perfection thing. Of course I'm tired and ranting, but I'm sure I wrote it down somewhere. It had something to do with the books God's Debris, and The Religion War, and maybe the anime Lain. Still ranting. Ignore this paragraph.
