A higher, transient species will never naturally evolve and overtake humans, since we'll just evolve right along with them. I mean monkeys have had as much time to get smart as we have, and even if they started now, we'd have a few thousands years of a head start.
then how would we have ever evolved to be 'better' than monkeys...the most advanced species will prosper and this case wouldnt be any different

Regarding a superior species, though....
For the most part, I believe evolution (through genetic mutation) has occurred as adaptation to one's environment. In developed countries, we can artificially control our environment to be comfortable, so we don't need to change ourselves. We already attribute "superhuman" status to those who live in extreme environments which they cannot alter, such as Andes mountain dwellers, Eskimos, and the like, because of the features they have evolved. Evolutionary changes like that are small, and we're content to just label people with noticeably better features as freaks or products of their environments. Either they'll reproduce within their culture or die out, so the rest of us won't get their good genes, and we'll be as we always were, or their genes will slowly spread so that we all evolve rather equally. Therefore, we may all evolve without noticing, and the relative equality of that evolution won't scare us or anything
im aware of how evolution works and how people adapt to their envoronment, but im talking about a new species, youre talking about humans (all the same species)
