Obviously it's hard to say how long the human race will be around. We are the only species capable of making ourselves (and almost everything else) extinct. I tend to think that humans will be around for quite a while, while modern civilization is destined for a collapse from resource destruction/depletion in the next couple hundred years. It's hard to say what will arise out of it.
