About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

It's more than that... I know you were joking but ...

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

There were probably more around at the time, all the other bloodlines just died off.
