Never. technology and science will prevent that. even in a nuclear war, countries will surrender to save their population, or neutral countries will then repopulate the world. as to the depletion of resources, humans have already begun to develop hydrogen and electric power. when the world's oil begins to run out (which won't for many decades) we will already have switched to other forms of energy, like solar or wind power.
an ice age is nothing against our decendants 20 million years after. who know what technology can manage then? cold is not a problem.
population can also be managed. if countries like japan and russia can have decreasing populations, then so can the rest of the world. right now an increasing population is good for the economy, but it will stop at some time.
at the rate that technology is currently advancing, humans will be able to live on mars in a few thousand years, if earth becomes inhosbitable. we will probably exist until the sun dies.

There are millions of possibilities. I would have to think that we will destroy oursevles eventually possibly by a combination of all of your above causes. Overpopulation will create greater demand for the limited resources here on Earth. This will lead to greater tension among people and eventually war as we try to sort out who gets what. A world wide war would almost certainly lead to a nuclear exchange, thus further limiting resources and increasing tension. We will eventually be our own worst enemy in my opinion.

Neanderthals grew to develop into extinct after about 250,000 years and the trendy day human is largely about 40,000 years previous. i might want to be surprised if we very last see you later because the neanderthals did. Species might want to die off and face extinction for brand spanking new species to face up and flourish. it would want to be a mixture of both, we are able to proceed to evolve yet there is a few type of occurrance or incedent that we'd no longer live to inform the tale. something is attainable. properly seem at that, word how shielding christians get.. i imagine they're getting a tad bit scared..

I believe that we will inhabit other planets in a million years or so, and will evolve as the millennia go on... Eventually, what we now know as human beings will be gone, and a new form of human will have evolved.
Causes of major kill off in our species will be overpopulation, major diseases, war, and climate change. Much of it will be man-made destruction.

December 18, 2023 (at 10:30 pm). The very last episode of Survivor will be on, after which the entire world population will commit suicide out of sheer desperation at having nothing intelligent to watch on television.

Probably all of the above will happen. We are beyond our carrying capacity and the Earth will take her vengeance and stabilize itself without regard to human or any life. I think it will happen in a few centuries. I could be wrong.
