Human beings have adapted, using mostly tecnology rather than sheer evolutionary might, has expanded beyond the threshold it was meant to reach. If you look at other species of animals, their population is mostly controlled by two factors:
1. Natural Disaster/Disease
2. Food Chain Equalism
Mankind surpassed both of these principals in the fact that we have built defense against Natural Disasters, and our buildings and other creations tend to stand a very long test of nature and time, protecting the people within. Medicines we've found also eliminate the threat of disease. Not since the Black Plauge has mankind had a such a devastating amount of deaths through disease. And we have learned, through domestication of mass amounts of animals, and agriculture, to completely control our food supplies on a massive scale, eliminating Equalism. So, obviously, mankind would have expanded past it's population threshold. We've explored most of our planet, and build everywhere, destroying and taking from the planet, yet since we and our creations live too long to decay at natures proper rate, we give none of the materials back to the Earth as death and decomposition would normally do.
We've expanded too far, and in order for mankind to continue to exist, it would be necessary for a VERY large amount of the population to decease. (This would have to be GLOBAL scale disease/disaster and the death rate would have to be at least in the range of 70-90%.) Seeing as this would be viewed as 'Inhumane' it would never happen, however, and mankind would make the willing decision to procreate, and do all within our power to prevent the inevitability that awaits us.
The greatest threat to mankind is itself. As it continues to thrive, and grow, the materials they need to live, almost inevitably decrease as the species procreates and continues to grow. This leads to less and less resource, which cannot fill the demand of the species, and mankind eventually dies out.
