I'd figure those plastics wreak havoc in the long term in an individual life but won't prevent people form reproducing and developing. It might be a serious setback but just a hurdle for humanity. Climate change, our nuclear arsenal, ... pose more urgent threats.

Yeah lead does all of this stuff too and we made it past the Romans using it as a sweetener...
