Not necessarily. For all we know, we might evolve into a different species over the next million years. Either way, though, extinction is just part of the natural process for any species, and not something we should worry about for ourselves. As you said, we are much better off considering how to improve biological conditions and quality of life than worrying about the eventual end of H. sapiens.
