5 0

Answer: People in the future .

Explanation:

<em>'Posterity'</em> is a noun meaning <em>future generations</em>, and especially the <em>descendants of a person</em>. We might use this term for our children, great-great grandchildren, or, generally, anyone born after us. This word comes from the Latin word '<em>posterus'</em>, meaning <em>coming after, following</em>. The word is also frequently used in law, as a legal term that refers to the offspring of a person (when determining who is entitled to inherit something).
