On a long enough timeline, humans are extinct.

What I'm saying is that that's not really a useful metric. You can say 'Oh, in another 1,000 years the Bantu people will be the only people in sub-saharan Africa', but... Will they? Anything can happen.

For all we know, 500 years from now, Russia is a monarchic theocracy ruled by Mohammed Jesus Moses Buddha, the greatest holy man in human history, the 12th imam, the seventh seal, the reincarnating god-king who has united all of Eurasia, and all it took was the eradication of a billion uncooperative chinks.

Around 30 percent of the Russian population will practice Islam within the next 15 years, Russia’s grand mufti has predicted, citing demographic trends.

Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov, an official in Russia’s Orthodox Church, agreed with Gainutdin’s forecast and predicted that “there won't be any Russians left in 2050.”

“It’s too late,” he told the Govorit Moskva radio station when asked if the demographic trend could be reversed.
