It's almost certain that if humanity took a fall like the Eldar a new chaos god would be born, however humanity does not feel emotions or sensations or obssession as strong as the Eldar do. If humans for example started murdering each other or robbing eachother certainly a higher justice would prevent them from continuing, unlike the case with the Eldar. The Emperor as a matter of fact was worried that humanity would become obssesed with greed and fall similar to the Eldar, which is why initiated the unification wars.

And speaking of the Emperor, some theories point out that he could be the 6th chaos god or malice/malal. Since the Emperor is the main enemy of the chaos gods and the chaos gods constantly wage war against each other, it's possible.
