You appear to be under the common assumption that humanity is the logical product of Evolution.

This is a misapprehension, Evolutions only requirement is to produce lifeforms that can survive and reproduce in their environment.

Nothing more.

So whilst the chances of humanity appearing are indeed vanishingly low, so what?

You can make the same statement about any species, indeed even the ones that had the potential to appear but didn't.

So the actual statistical likelihood of Homo Sapiens arising is 1.

Exactly. If we could somehow rewind time a few hundred million years, and run evolution forward again, wuold humanity develop again? No, probably not, and it definitely wouldn't be exactly the same as it is now.
Mutations are random, so evolution is a stochastic process.
