- Human extinction is the end of the human species. Various scenarios have been discussed in science, popular culture, and religion. The scope of this article is existential risks. Humans are very widespread on the Earth, and live in communities which (whilst interconnected) are capable of some kind of basic survival in isolation. Therefore, pandemic and deliberate killing aside, to achieve human extinction, the entire planet would have to be rendered uninhabitable. This would typically be during a mass extinction event, a precedent of which exists in the Permian–Triassic extinction event among other examples. In the near future, one anthropogenic extinction scenario exists: global nuclear annihilation; and two possible natural ones: bolide impact and large scale volcanism or other catastrophic climate change. Both natural causes have occurred repeatedly in the geologic past and there is no reason to consider them unlikely in the future. As technology develops, there is a possibility that humans may be deliberately destroyed by the actions of a rogue state or individual in a form of global suicide attack, but this is balanced by the possibility that technological advancement may resolve or prevent potential extinction scenarios. Another scenario is the emergence of a pandemic of such virulence and infectiousness that very few humans survive the disease. While not actually a human extinction event, this may leave only very small, very scattered human populations that would then evolve in isolation. It is important to differentiate between human extinction and the extinction of all life on Earth. Of possible extinction events, only a pandemic is selective enough to eliminate humanity while leaving the rest of complex life on earth relatively unscathed.
- Se entiende por extinción humana al conjunto de elementos cuya manifestación podría tener como resultado la extinción de la especie humana. Las situaciones en que esto pudiera ocurrir han sido discutidas tanto en la ciencia, como en otras ramas de la cultura como son la religión y la cultura popular en general. La especie humana es la más extendida por toda la Tierra, y vive en comunidades en las que son capaces de subsistir básicamente aún en el aislamiento. Existen, como ya se ha dicho, muchas maneras en que esta especie pudiera perecer, estas serían eventos catastróficos de gran envergadura, ya fueran naturales, artificiales o provenientes del espacio. Es muy importante aclarar que la extinción humana es diferente de la extinción de la vida en la Tierra. De todas las formas posibles de extinción, sólo las pandemias pudieran ser capaces de eliminar únicamente a la raza humana, sin afectar a otras criaturas terrestres.
