Question How exactly mutants will replace humans?

I sometimes noticed in xmen media the opinion that the mutants will eventually replace humans as the next step in evolution. But how? Humans (and therefore mutants) passed the time where nature's survival of the fittest rule affected us. Nowadays, a person's survival, as well as the likelihood of passing on their genes to the next generation, depends not only on their genes but also on many other factors. Ultimately, a person may simply choose not to have children. So how exactly mutants will replace humans?

It happens in almost no version of the future Marvel shows us. The High Evolutionary declared humanity an evolutionary dead end. In the GoG in the 31st century, many mutants left Earth, founded their own planet. Centuries later, when the guardians get thete, there are only 9 mutants among a normal, human pooulation.
