We wouldn't be aware of it, so we wouldn't react.
"Species" is only visible in hindsight. If a group of humans became separated from all the rest of us, and diverged genetically (which is about the only way a "new human species" could occur), we wouldn't know until tens of thousands of years later, when they came out of hiding.
The beginnings of what we will become (we're still evolving, and will continue to evolve until we become extinct) are us - and in 100,000 years we may be something that recognizes "us now" as an earlier species.
Or not. Selection works by pressure - if there's no pressure to change (IOW, if being able to mow the lawn better doesn't give you a reproductive advantage), even if the mutation occurs it doesn't get selected for. So if we get to the point that we can make our environment "evolve" to fit our needs, we may never show any morphological (physical) changes (other than small ones, like losing our wisdom teeth) - but we're still evolving. We'll just be the same species in 5 million years - but the planet won't be the one it is today, we'll have changed it.
