It's just a suggestion. I am not sure it will fit but it kind of means the same thing in English.

process of development (of humanity)
Or simply develoment
I think the context refers not to the outcoming of humanity but to its evolution, to its continuous change as time passes. The uncertainty lies in that movement.
That´s how I see it. Just an idea.

It was an idea because the correct translation is Joaquim´s.

the becoming
becoming is the translation always used for devenir. I teach philosophy at university level in the UK and that is the way in which is and has always been translated, when it is intended to have a philosophical sense.
Hope it helps
