How will humans continue to evolve?

They won't. They'll be extinct.

Japanese people are already getting longer faces, weaker jaws etc.

Well with modern society placing such a priority on letting people live, the useless deformities will continue to live, and perhaps procreate. So things are definitely slowed, but not stopped.

So basically the human species is going to turn into a huge lot of degenerate mutants. Any useful mutations will be lost among the junk filling the gene pool.

Wow, you have a lot of faith in humanity. Seriously, 5000 years from now, what do you think Earth is going to look like?

We're god damn humans, anything is possible for us. It might take some massive death toles but we can figure out how to set things right.

And remember that humans are just animals. We wont live forever. There are mass extinctions all the time. We might be able to overcome a lot but death is inevitable. Even if we could live on for millions of years our sun wont, it will consume the earth and everything on it.

dude, if anime has taught me anything, we will construct gundams to blow up asteroids and space travel to colonize new worlds!

this planted doesnt have the resources to create or fuel large scale colonies in space
maybe we can get away with some spaceships and maybe even small sell sufficient towns on nearby planets but thats about it

alright. IF we manage to live for millions of more years, how will we continue to evolve?

Well, that depends on how lazy and comfortable we want ourselves to get. Natural selection is nothing more than the result of bad mutations weeding themselves out by getting killed. Every an hero is a failed attempt at a human removed from the gene pool. As long as people die from doing dumb shit or just simply kill themselves because they can't handle the world, we'll evolve into smarter, more adaptable creatures.

Even if we prevent this weeding process, we'll still have sexual selection, which means the sexiest ones are likely to breed with the sexiest ones. What is generally regarded as sexy? Money, power, brains and good looks. But what of the poor, low-level, dumb uggos? Well, they seem to breed too, in fact, much more than the sexy bastards. Due to mutations, the sexies will have some ugly dumb kids and the uggos will have some sexy bright kids, and evolution gets stuck in place. I don't see anything short of genetic manipulation or eugenics changing this.
