If anything wipes us out, it'll be the unforeseen consequences of good intentions. Abuse of anti-biotics has already given rise to MDR and XDR disease. Something to that nature will end us. Or the sun exploding. Maybe we'll make the sun explode. Quite frankly, I'd rather focus on expanding beyond Earth. Limiting ourselves to a single place of existence is also a good way to be wiped out.
