^^^ As the post above said, humanity actually dose have a great chance of surviving ,lets say a full scale tyranid invasion because many races in the 40k would aid the imperium, the eldar would come to the imperium's aid almost imediatly, tau would also (if it want's to survive) even the dark eldar would opose the tyranids (no more fun & slaves if they eat everything).The necrons while it would be hostile to both parties involved would still fight the nids whenever they see fit to do so. Also there is soo much firepower that terra and mars can call to their aid that we can asume the solar sistem would be fine even against the might of the hive mind. If the golden throne / astronomican colapses overnight, the imperium would fragment instantly but it would not die in a worse case scenario humans will still be around (there are quite a lot of them kicking out in the tau emp and they seem to be doing fine even without the imperium)
