A Requiem for Homo Sapiens is a trilogy of science fiction novels by American writer David Zindell, made up of The Broken God (1992), The Wild (1995), and War in Heaven (1998). The trilogy is a sequel to the standalone novel Neverness (1988).[1]
The series has been described as containing "some of the most striking writing, vivid spectacles, memorable characters, and insightful presentations of philosophy and religion seen in SF for many a year."[2] David Langford commented on similarities between the trilogy's hero Danlo and Paul Atreides, protagonist of Frank Herbert's Dune.[3]

That's presuming that your vision for advancement is physical, not cultural or spiritual.
There are a lot of people out there in the world who would say that our ultimate goal as a society should be to human civilization to a level where everyone's basic needs can be met with the minimum of personal effort, so that people can devote the majority of their lives to things that are more personally fulfilling, like art or music, or to making scientific discoveries. Or whatever floats their personal boat.
You could use science to make humans live to be hundreds of years old, but for a lot of people that would mean hundreds of years sitting behind the register at Walmart making just enough money to live miserably for hundreds of years in a damp apartment.
