I am sure there will still be tribes of hunter gatherers in the swamps of the Artic Circle and the forests of Antarctica.

A massive die-off isn't unlikely, however, and that should be frightening enough, even though a much-reduced human population can almost certainly survive anything less catastrophic than the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, maybe even a little worse than that.
And, of course, it would be a very rough life for survivors for perhaps decades, even centuries, after a large human die-off, which would of course likely drag many other plant and animal species down with us.
