ANSWER It's not possible to put an exact date on human extinction but the record shows that almost all earth species eventually go extinct and the human race is unlikely to be an exception. I think the average life expectancy of a natural species is something less than 6 million years, so under normal conditions we still should have millions of years to go. However we are not behaving as a natural species and we are degrading planet earths biosphere, our home, at an accelerating rate so EXTINCTION is sort of imminent. Possibly within a few hundred years. There will be a 'point of no return' in biosphere degradation past which it will not be possible to save ourselves and we may already be past that point. Sadly as we go we will probably take much of the other mammals and larger species with us. Interestingly, it is doubtful that mammals will ever regenerate (evolve) to a superior status on earth again. George
