They're not completely gone, their DNA lives on in their ancestors in sort of beautiful way. You and are the culmination of millions before us. Pretty cool

I totally agree. I've thought about that before and definitely take solace knowing we all carry on through our DNA. It's cool when someone makes a (good) impact on history and gets to live on through history too.

But that's fine, I'm cool with just being a branch on this crazy tree of life.

My 23 and Me DNA report says I’m descended from one of the groups that inhabited Doggerland (mentioned in the article). So yeah, still here.
