Human extinction

Human extinction refers to the complete disappearance of the human species from Earth, meaning no humans remain alive. It could result from various risks such as global nuclear war, catastrophic climate change, pandemics, or asteroid impacts. While currently unlikely in the near term, these threats could potentially disrupt or destroy human populations if they escalate beyond our ability to prevent or adapt. Understanding these risks encourages efforts to mitigate them, ensuring the long-term survival of humanity.
