Well, there's nothing that can take us out now, and I don't see us allowing anything to evolve that can destroy us. So the two options are:

1. We do ourselves in

2. We get hit by a giant asteroid

We're not really quite up to the task of "allowing" this or that to evolve just yet. (See drug-resistant strains of bacteria, the annual flu-shot crapshoot, etc)
