I have a few questions that keep coming up for me around the topic of environment and diet being the strongest driver in the evolution of the different homo species branches. No offshoot survived except homo-sapiens.
What part of the diet caused the decline of the others? And what are our different diets doing to us today?
Are there groups that are evolving while others are devolving?
Or are we just working our way to a mass extinction, and it doesn’t matter either way?

Yeah, I personally think we're just working out way to mass extinction with the way some things are going.

See thisAnd mass extinction always happened so it's not odd if humans deal with it in the future. There are several reasons why scientists are focused in colonization of other planets and life in space. Earth's resources are limited while human population increases by every day. Plus I think modern life and technology is responsible for devolution too. Just see how many stupid and useless people are alive thanks to the technology. Those people breed and contribute to devolution.

There are a lot of different theories. Based on the current data available, many hypotheses can be created. And we could probably start a thread I each aspect of evolution we find in humans today. Hair, intelligence, hands, small toe, size, organs and more.
It all actually comes into question on whether our sub-species will still be around for the next 50000 to 150000 years.
We must not forget about forced evolution that technology could entitle us to. We could transplant our minds in other bodies as long as we would need to afford to. We could protect ourselves from harsh environments with artificial environments. We could deal with lack of food my creating artificial foods that require less space to create. And obviously we could clone perfect beings instead of having babies.
How sustainable is everything, and would this create an environment that eventually causes such a big extinction driving force that it wipes all combined-cell life completely from the planet.
But after every extinction more species have emerged from the left over life giving cells. Maybe that counts as an evolution too?

Constantly one group gets up, the other goes down! We constantly discuss this topic here! We can say that we(humans) have what we deserve in full!
