| 10,000 years in the evolutionary process is the blink of an eye. The drug induced chromosome modifications are just a booster in the evolutionary gene pool.
Homo Maximus may be present in todays gene pool - but it may take another 10,000 years for him to become dominant.
I would be more concerned that the ability to create life or extremely modify (to suit our tastes) DNA would lead to the classification of some humans as unmodified - therefore lesser.
My greatest concern at the moment is creating an organism with no natural limiting factors. (Andromeda Strain).
