Read an interesting article a bit ago, explaining how humans on Mars would become a new species unfit to live on earth;
Sex on Mars is 'titanic challenge' that could lead to NEW species of 'Martians', say scientists[^]
Evolution does not go "one way"; it will not be a single new species, it will be several deviations. Knowing man, we will treat them as being sick, and will try to "heal them".
Currently, we are evolving to use less brain-power; machines are getting easier to control, and most of the complex tasks are done by machines. Less real interaction between people has a similar effect. Since most of us don't have to do hard labour, future generations will be less muscled. Probably huge-dicked[^], weak, idiots with immunity-issues.

Kim Stanley Robinson wrote an interesting science fiction trilogy called the Mars series: Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars, I think they were. It is about the colonization of Mars by humans and he postulates that humans will evolve into hybrid species because of the low gravity. It's a very good series I think and he has won awards for it.

I don't remember the movie actually stating that. I suppose it was implied or was there a part that I don't remember correctly? I don't remember the robot ever admitting to killing off all humans.

Why are you even asking? Does it even matter what he says, given you already have "belief"? And how much "proof" would it be that it is implied, if he's only remembering?

Of course. Beliefs can change.

I didn't ask for proof. I just ask if he remembered what made him think it was implied.

I don't have one; I will keep my promise and will always oppose a believer.
The delusional against the rational, I will always be here. Anytime. Anywhere. Always.

Interesting topic-
In SF various human subspecies often evolve under extreme environments, or through genetic manipulation, but it's harder to find stories with different human species that couldn't interbreed.
A couple interesting subspecies include the Quaddies from Bujold's Vorskogian Saga series- deliberately created for zero-G, with four arms and no legs. Now 'obsolete' with the invention of artificial gravity. Also the human variants from Niven's Known Space series - 'We Made Itians', Jinxians, etc.
I found this article by Larry Niven talking about the evolutionary themes in his books. It's fascinating to see the whole sweep from the Slavers and their food yeast, to the Pak, and the Puppeteers project to secretly influence human evolution.

SF & Fantasy writers usually call it "Worldbuilding".
Long ago, my wife was running a general book discussion at a library branch, and the members hadn't read any SF, but were interested in trying something different. I suggested "Ringworld" 
They all finished the book, and it wasn't the generic space opera they were expecting. Quite a lively discussion with the different themes, and they were fascinated by the different characters, like Speaker-to-Animals and Nessus.
