I think we’re going to move from a Homo sapiens into a Homo evolutis: … a hominid that takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of his species, her species and other species.

Enriquez is pointing to a shift from evolution as an undirected, natural process to evolution as a consciously engineered project. The coined term “Homo evolutis” frames humans as a species that uses biotechnology—especially genetics, synthetic biology, and reproductive technologies—to intentionally alter human traits and to redesign other organisms. The phrasing “his species, her species and other species” underscores both inclusivity and scope: self-modification (medicine, enhancement, germline changes) and ecosystem-level intervention (engineered microbes, crops, animals). The quote also implies ethical and political stakes: once deliberate control becomes possible, questions of governance, inequality, consent, and unintended consequences become central to what “human” means going forward.
