     • The short answer is yes. The fossil record shows everything goes extinct, eventually. Almost all species that ever lived, over 99.9%, are extinct. Some left descendants. Most – plesiosaurs, trilobites, Brontosaurus – didn’t. That’s also true of other human species. Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus all vanished, leaving just Homo sapiens.

   Are humans heading for extinction?

   • Humans are inevitably heading for extinction. The question isn’t whether we go extinct, but when. Headlines often suggest this extinction is imminent.

   Is human extinction a 'existential catastrophe'?

   • In 2020, Oxford-based philosopher Toby Ord published a book called The Precipice about the risk of human extinction. He put the chances of “existential catastrophe” for our species during the next century at one in six. It’s quite a specific number, and an alarming one.

   How long does it take to recover from extinction?

   • However, a common denominator of recovery is a delay of several million years [5 – 8]—an important lesson for humanity. On the other hand, a post-extinction tree of life evolves in a new configuration and becomes reconstructed with different terminal branches.

   How many people will extinction be in 2022?

   • A French scientist named Jean-Marc Salotti did this in 2022, calculating the odds of an extinction-level hit in the next century at around one in 300 million. Of course, such an estimate is fraught with uncertainty, but it is backed by something approaching an appropriate frequency calculation.
