How to survive the next 100,000 years

Will humans be around in the deep future?  Given the track record of most mammals, we've got a pretty good shot at surviving for at least the next 100,000 years and possibly even a million years or more. Of course, that's not to say we won't face any challenges. We can expect threats we've encountered before, like colossal volcanic eruptions and pandemic bugs, as well as new ones like out-of-control technology.
In this animation, we give you a sneak peek at what could be in store for future generations of humans. We take a look at the most likely challenges and how we might be able to overcome them.
