There are two possibilities. 1) This group of humans grows and multiplies until they too are destroyed by the meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs; or 2) This group of humans grows and multiplies until they create a society that rivals the one they left. They find a way to divert the meteor and a catastrophic paradox results destroying the entire universe. And they all lived happily ever after.....
