Will the survival drive of the Human Race ironically lead to its demise?

Question

To become the Alpha species we have systematically eliminated competing species or mitigated their threat to our survival. Now, at the apex, mankind is the only viable threat to mankind. In our efforts to guard against, or eliminate that threat, will our survival instinct lead to our demise?

Answer 1

No, we're distributed too far. It might thin out the herd though. Some might figure that he who makes the biggest boom is not the most advanced. Naah.

Answer 2
