Nomad, I don't think there's a big risk of humanity facing extinction any time soon. Widespread war, deprivation and so on, possibly (if you listen carefully, you can hear gek-opel cackling with glee...), but not extinction. So from an evolutionary point of view only, whereby more individuals = more successful, humans are and will continue to be very successful. Maybe a bit less successful in the near future if we don't get our collective act together, I don't know.
You claimed that I claimed the earth is not overpopulated (by humans), and as you can see I did not say that.
Well, if you think our population number is a sign of our "success", then how can you also think we're overpopulated? That doesn't make much sense to me. Overpopulation by definition is a "problem".
I think it's perfectly plausible that humans become extinct in the next ten thousand years or so, if the people who claim we are in the midst of a global climate crisis are correct.
