I am somewhat irked by "the human era will be over" phrase. It is not given that current-type humans cease to exist after any Singularity.

Iron still exists, and is actively used, but we no longer live in the Iron Age.

My central point is contained in the sentence after that. A positive Singularity seems extremely human to me when contrasted to paperclip Singularities.

I am not particularly in the habit of describing human beings as "humane". That is a trait of those things which we aspire to but only too-rarely achieve.
