Long term, it will. Evolution is still happening, there weren't any humans a million years ago, and there won't be any in another million.

Shorter term, humanity's main resource that allowed us to reach 8 billion in the first place is running out.

Unfortunately we're still headed towards 10 billion by mid century, and I shudder to envision that horror as I may still be alive then.
