Yeah, there's basically a zero percent chance of surviving that long intact.

If we do survive it will be by changing and adapting to the point of not being human any more.

I wonder if humans/hominids from 210,000 years ago had similar speculations?

I doubt they had the ability to speculate about the future of their (or any) species.

They weren't stupid, they just had very limited knowledge and experience to draw on, and very limited tools.

Most importantly they didn't have the ability to directly edit their own genes.
