I've read that in biological terms, the human being has about 800,000 years before it becomes extinct. (This was done by comparing other species' evolution between themselves and extrapolating to humans).
However, it's not biology that is driving humans, but culture.
And that could lead anywhere and anywhen.
Nobody to compare with.
