Throughout our life history, we've overcome problems. Despite what some pessimists seem to think, I expect we'll continue to do so wether the problems are made by us in the first place or not.
As an example - although it's late, there is a popular trend this day to lessen impact on the environment, something noone thought about 50 years ago. I would say this is progress. I dread to think that in 1000 years time, maybe direct human genetic engineering is part of most other species we share the planet with, but I don't think it's an entirely unlikely scenario and I'm pretty sure we'll still be around at that time.
