All species inevitably go extinct. How do you think our species will go extinct?

We are large animals, successful large animals tend to last a few million years, really successful small animals last tens of millions of years. 

 

How long will modern humans last? Several other human species went extinct, there was even a miniature human species called  Homo floresiensis, it too went extinct. 

How do you see us going out?

    Famous physicist Stephen Hawking expressed concern that life on Earth is at risk from a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, global warming, or other dangers humans have not yet thought of. Hawking stated: "I regard it as almost inevitable that either a nuclear confrontation or environmental catastrophe will cripple the Earth at some point in the next 1,000 years", and considered an "asteroid collision" to be the biggest threat to the planet.
