The first Homo Sapiens on planet Earth started making some noise around 50,000 years ago. They fought Neandertals (or shagged them, since around 7 per cent of current world population has Neandertal NDA, according to some research) , learnt to control the fire, the wheel, their weapons, their rituals and stuff, they just did their thing.
50,000 years later, we are a bit more technology savy, but still a long way to go to in order to create a really "human" society.
So I wonder,how do you imagine the world in 52,013 a.C?
I don´t think there will be governments, it will be some sort of international confederacy. The main race will be brown, and robots will do all the work. Money wont exist (robots do everything, why would anyone work for money), so I guess they will go back to exchange things for another things,like before the invention of money.

What's the point of life if you're just gonna sit around being fat and useless? Much of what the future will be, will be centred around what people decide has meaning. People need purpose, and humans need their society to have some purpose. Right now our purpose is a struggle against the poverty and want so recently plaguing us and still going to town on most of the world's people. That, and trying to do so in a way that's sustainable, that creates a world without heartbreaking levels of human suffering that can maintain itself and preserves the best of our past whenever possible. When all that's achieved and robots can take care of us, people will strive for a point to their lives, for something to asipre to, to build. Art just becomes masturbation after a point, we can't just have everyone being artists and that being the point of human civilizations for eternity. I think that we'll strive to populate the stars, to carry the light of human life to the rest of this mostly cold, dead universe.
The Future will be a lot like the Movie Idiocracy. The world will be run by a handful of corporations, the stupid will be the only ones breeding at high rates, A doctor visit will be a touchscreen kiosk that dispenses a pill, the place to shop will be one large big box store like Costco or Walmart. Our TV will be stupid reality shows.
Moneyless society, saving the planet, the end of poverty, robots doing all the monotonous jobs, humans pursuing only science and the arts. I expect that to happen today or tomorrow with the technology we already have. By less than 1000 years humans could be long gone replaced by other intelligent life forms who get their chance at Space Odyssey at the current rate of economics.
Everything described above will probably have come and gone within about 500 years.
In the much longer run, over a span larger by an order of magnitude or two, Homo sapiens as we know him will no longer be the dominant species on the planet, or may not exist at all. We have, in only a few thousand years, created numerous new species through genetic engineering -- dogs, cats, milk cows, and almost every plant we eat. Future men will almost certainly find ways to manipulate breeding of themselves, creating a Superhuman. This Superhuman will use ordinary humans for slaves, experimental subjects, spare parts, etc., finally having no use for H. sapiens at all. This will pass through several stages that we can't even imagine, according to some needs that become useful via technological developments and accidental exigencies that we can't imagine.
