as natural as disease and old age death, wild life ect.? Yea, the winner would be very clear.
at maximum a billion, maybe 2 killed by other humans in the history of mankind.
approximately 108 billion people who have ever lived.
Nature wins.
There are many, many natural events that could wipe out all life on earth, or at least decimate large swaths of life. comparitively only 3 options for killing off the human race.
Everyone kills themselves
Everyone stops reproducing
We bomb ourselves and most of the world into oblivion. then again it's possible to survive in a fallout shelter with greenhouse facilities, though you'd have to be in there for MANY years before the radiation levels became low enough to walk around on the surface. With something like an asteroid impact, you probably wouldn't even be safe in a fallout shelter, unless it was very deep underground. A supervolcanic eruption would cause the world to be covered in ash for a VERY long time, nearly uninhabitable.
