Human extinction: History, History of thought & Probability

Human extinction, or omnicide, refers to the possible ending of the human species, either by population decline due to singular natural events—for example, space irradiation, asteroid impact, or large-scale volcanism—or via anthropogenic destruction (self-extinction).
