According to Frere Teilhard, there is a direction and it will continue. However, the specific families of creatures have arrived at this point and will not evolve physically. Evolution from now on will be not in the biosphere, but in the noosphere. I have assumed this meant greater and greater individuality under greater and greater social organization. We cannot predict what forms the social organization may take except that they will become more complex and continue to take on an existence of their own.
According to Elsie (and perhaps others), direction means purpose and a goal.
My question: Whose?
