New evolution is an engineered evolution. When a species like us comes to a point where we have the technology to start altering our genetics and interface machine and biology then we can choose what we evolve into. Natural selection doesn't entirely go away. If we fail we still can become extinct. But we can build a better form of life and that life will build something even better. That is if we get it right.
We are like a caterpillar that is about to turn into a butterfly. We are about to become something completely different. The process is already beginning.
