The two most likely apocalypse would be a nuclear war or a biological mishap or misstep. Stop and think, nuclear weapons have been here 60 years, used twice, tested dozens of times, multiple players and much strife. Statistically, much more likely.

People are so frightened of being killed by an apocalyptic event, or a spectacular terrorist attack, but they will probably die in a car accident, choking on cheezy poofs, or a sudden aneurism while trying to take a dump.

How "humanity" dies is less interesting to me than how I might (or will, rather) die. My death is a certainty, the death of humanity less so.
