Humans have killed their next step in evolution. We keep our weak alive, allow our sick to reproduce, and caiter to people who contribute nothing to humanity. Darwinism has not been allowed to take its course with us. I would even go out on a limb and say that we are going in reverse..... Just a thought....
Maybe physically but what would be stopping our brains from evolving? Isn't that what's most important anyway? Because of our brains stuff like this will be possible. Nanotechnology will be very real.

Here's a link that's goes a bit more I'm depth about what a respirocyte is.

Then there is the “nanolung.” An interesting design alternative to augmentation infusions is a therapeutic population of respirocytes that loads and unloads at an artificial nanolung, a diamondoid pressure tank implanted in the chest, which exchanges gases directly with the natural lungs or with an external gas supply such as an air hose. Assuming 80% storage volume at ~1000 atm, an unobtrusive 250 cm3 nanolung could provide 0.3-7 hours O2 supply, depending on exertion level. By sacrificing one entire natural lung to make room in the thorax, a 3250 cm3 nanolung extends oxygen supply to 4-87 hours. A less-conservative nanolung design could allow you to survive for up to 5 days without drawing a breath.]
Wouldn't you consider surviving 5 days without breathing evolving physically?
