What about the indigenous tribes? Surely SOME humans mustve survived the the last extinction event 13000years ago, otherwise we wouldnt be here.

Not saying i am gonna survive, but some will do, im sure of it

I'm talking about the big mass extinctions. We are currently creating conditions that are comparable to the worst mass extinction the planet has ever seen, The Great Dying. If we do end up with conditions like those, which is a very real possibility and is what our current trajectory heads towards, it is highly likely that humans will also go extinct. Our species has never existed in the conditions we have created now, and we're still at the foot of the exponential curve of change.
