The short answer is, whatever they want.
Your question involves the theory of evolution, which attempts to answer the question, "Where did humans come from?" It is usually brought up as a counterpoint to the Creation myth of Judeo-Christian religions. Evolution comes from science, which answers questions by forming hypotheses and attempting to prove or disprove these hypotheses using experimentation.
Now, a hypothesis is an idea that one can form after gathering some data. It's a guess as to what relationships might exist within that data. Measurable data has very little to say on the subject of death: all body functions cease, including brain activity, which is known to have a negative effect on rational thought. Insofar as science is concerned, "you" cease to exist after you die.
Those quotation marks indicate that "you" is a difficult term here. After all, it may be a safe assumption that you, the questioner, are not concerned with "physical" death and are more concerned with what happens to the "soul" after physical death. Science cannot make any hypotheses nor attempt to prove or disprove hypotheses related to the soul, as the soul cannot be experienced in any way by any of the five senses, nor is it measurable by any tool humans possess. To guess at what happens to the soul after death flies in the face of scientific method and the validity of scientific inquiry.
In other words, evolutionists in general just don't know.
However, you may be interested to know that the beliefs of individual evolutionists (which is to say, people who believe that the theory of evolution is valid) vary as greatly as any other large representative cross-section of humanity. As science has little to say on the matter, speculation abounds. Some "evolutionists" even believe in the Christian Heaven.

Evolutionists generally believe that death involves the cessation of biological functions and the end of an organism's life. From an evolutionary perspective, death is seen as a natural part of the life cycle, allowing for new generations to emerge through reproduction and passing on genetic material.

A person has died in young age is it that his soul will remain in this world?

Why might people not believe in life after death?
There are lots of reasons for this. Some people do not want to believe in life after death, especially when they are severely depressed. These people want to believe that suicide would end their suffering, and that they do not have to continue to struggle. Others believe that worrying about the future is a waste of time, and that every day should be lived only as it comes - so they don't consider the concept. They're is also no evidence that there is life after death and so some people might not want to believe since they have no proof.Also, acknowledging life after death is usually associated with a religion, and people who have been raised void of religious influence and are not of faith, may have trouble believing in something beyond the grave. Some people believe only in what they have direct evidence of, or have witnessed; and evidence of life after death can only be found when it is too late to come back and tell the world.Answer:Actually, there is plenty of non-religious evidence for life after death. See, for example, the roseandlotus website and follow the links. But people are afraid to believe it, in case they are then pressured into following a religion that they have already developed a distaste for, and so they developed the myth that belief in life after death is only for the weak-minded. But that is only a myth, and there is no evidence at all, apart from wishful thinking, for the proposition that there is nolife after death.Answer:Belief in existence after death is the tradition of all mankind. All ancient societies worldwide without exception shared this tradition.In very recent generations, the abandonment of tradition in general has been taking place and that is why things have gotten so much worse, including the fact that many people no longer are aware of God or the afterlife.
