Not necessarily. Genes don't jump to different chromosomes (Movement is usually just within the individual chromosome); besides that, sexual reproduction is more-or-less necessary for genetic diversity. The few species that reproduce asexually -- haplodiploidy doesn't count here because unfertilized eggs spawn males -- tend to be insects in isolated regions that don't have much competition within their niche. I don't think humans would go down that evolutionary path partly because there's no selective pressure against sex, partly because sexual recombination protects against disease (Arms races between us and the bacteria/viruses and such).
Besides that, it'd take more than a few thousand years. Hell, an 'instant' in evolutionary terms is something like 500,000 years. XD
