Most likely, some idiot will push the wrong button and blow us up.

If this species manages to spread to other planets, probably not. The next possibility is extinction by lack of resources or genetic degradation.

Bold for emphasis. I think that 'possibility' is more likely than most of us give it credit.

All it takes is a decent sized rock to plummet from the sky and hit an ocean.

Most likely we will evolve into something else.

Possibly in concert with our technology.

Now there's a thought,

Humanity evolving into sentient spacecraft

Hopefully it will happen before we have totally destroyed the planet, then maybe the planet will recover and replace us with something less self-destructive Big Grin

Homo sapiens sapiens (the double 'sapiens' is a indicator of our sublime arrogance)

Humans are a relatively new ,and I think temporary species. In my opinion we are not as successful as we like to think.

My idea of successful species includes most insects, crocodiles and sharks. I think being dependent on technology to adapt to the environment is a fatal flaw against long term survival.

Humans seem to be the only species who foul their own nest to the extent of making it uninhabitable. It's possible we will be be will become extinct through our own arrogance and stupidity.

Probably the most humbling documentary I've ever seen is "Life After People' which showed just how quickly the planet will obliterate all traces of us.The time scale is a few thousand years. In geological time, that's barely measurable.

YES, speculation ,but interesting:

Quote:Life After People is a television documentary series where scientists and other experts speculate about what the Earth might be like if humanity no longer existed, as well as the impact humanity's disappearance might have on the environment and the artificial aspects of civilization. The program premiered as a two hour special on January 21, 2008 on the History Channel.[1] which served as a de facto pilot for the series that premiered April 21, 2009.
