12. Not always...
We humans don't always find a way to deal with a crisis, so far we've always managed to survive crisis, at least some of us, but there's no guarantees.

We're doomed because we're far too efficient a predator to survive.

You know the history of the sabre-tooth tiger? It's a simple mutation really, so simple it's occurred six times that we know of. Six completely unrelated lines of STT, all extinct because they're way too effective at predation and reproduction.

Our cooperative intelligence and technologies are our version of really big teeth.

We'll hunt our territory until there's no more prey to be found and then we'll turn on each other.
