In the case of human evolution, where the species is adapting the environment to its survival needs, the species evolution will halt entirely.

If our ability to adapt the environment in friendly ways is broken then we will see more adaptation.

There is a popular fantasy of 'evolution' that it is a directed force in itself, whereas evolution is not a driver it is an outcome of conditions.

Witness rapid evolution of the COVID virus as it mutates around our hostile vaccines and systems of immunity.
