No. From the brief look I've had at both books, they seem to primarily (if not exclusively) focus on animal evolution.
Doubtless for the reason you point out.
And though I broadly agree with what you say, I do not find the idea of the human race a million years from now (assuming it survives that long) looking (even mostly) indistinguishable from present-day humans too plausible either.
