Leslie (philosophy, U. of Guelph) argues for the high likelihood of human extinction in the relatively near future. To this end he discusses the real threats to human existence, be they man-made or natural disasters. However, Leslie places much of the weight of his account on the so- called Doomsday Argument advanced by fellow philosopher Brandon Carter, who simply contends that it is highly unlikely that we should happen to find ourselves among the earliest humans who have ever existed.
