Even just "terrible survival conditions" contains such a vast range of possibilities, including humans I might not consider people, and itself is dwarved by terrible political and social conditions. The question isn't so much will there still be some form of two-legged entitites. Technology doesn't help here at all, to the contrary, it can be used to enforce the wiping out of all people as I understand them, and not at all to protect that. That does have to come from people; and it's not. So, the trends remaining as they are, it's curtains.
