What everyone keeps forgetting is that all these enemies of humanity hate each other as well. For example the Silent King of the Necrons has singled out the Tyranids as an enemy that must be destroyed & the warp based forces of Chaos are anathema to the Necrons by their very existence, the Eldar & Orks are remembered by the Necrons as foot soldiers of the Old Ones when the Necrons warred with them & the Necrons hate the C'tan more than all the others. The same can be said for all the other major powers in the galaxy, in fact humanity has been able to forge temporary alliances with other powers such as Tau, craft world Eldar & even Necrons is a strength none of the other races, excepting the Tau, have. In the end this ability to act pragmaticly & forge temporary alliances will help humanity survive while the other powers tear each other apart - it won't guarantee survival but it does give humanity an edge.
