What we'll evolve to ?

If sci fi shows are accurate predictors, we'll look like this....

If after 100,000 years a new species of humans appeared will the older ones (us) still exist
similar to the other Apes that's still existing.
I don't think we'll change that much in such a short amount of time. But, if we split off like we did to our common ancestor of apes, maybe. Our common ancestor with apes aren't in existence anymore though. Apes today aren't the same species as our common ancestor we have with them.

And where did the common ancestor evolved from ? Not Apes

Assuming that the evolution of Humans came from Apes, so what humans
will look like after 100,000 years based on our modern scientific knowledge.

Wrong assumption. We did not evolve from apes.

We are still apes.

But there were Apes when there were no humans yet.
Yes. They were our ancestors. At some point, the ancestors of humans and apes diverged, evolving separately into what we have today. Many species of apes have died out along the way, including our ancestors. But, we are still apes.

Sure. But there were mammals when there were no humans yet, too. That does not add meaning to the question "if humans evolved from mammals" either. Since we are still Apes (and mammals) , it does not make much sense to postulate we evolved from something we still are.

So, in the interest of precision, I would formulate my question in terms of: if humans evolved from non humans....
Or, alternatively, if humans evolved from fish....

Genetic engineering and the technological singularity will make it almost impossible to predict what we will look like 100,000 years from now (unless we blow ourselves back to the stone age before then).
