Abstract
- The article presents an overview of expert forecasting of the long-term survival of the human race. Topics include fossil evidence of the average survival time of mammal species, the ability of humans to share knowledge across a global network to solve problems, and the unlikelihood of a viral pandemic affecting the entire population. Possible threats are also discussed, such as supervolcano eruptions and cosmic phenomena involving solar flares, cosmic gamma ray bursts, or asteroids.
