  We certainly won’t go extinct gradually – the human population of the earth if constantly increasing, actually at quite an alarming rate. It’s difficult to predict what (or even if) will make us go extinct!

  It is so difficult to now what will happen to the human race, it is very unlikely there will be a disaster that wipes us all out in one go though!
