So far, humans are the life’s best bet for surviving the day our Sun goes supernova.
This is a pedantic point in context, but our solar system almost certainly isn’t going to develop into a supernova. There’s quite a menagerie of described or proposed supernova types, but all result either from core collapse in a very massive star (more than eight or so solar masses) or from accretion of mass (usually from a giant companion) onto a white dwarf star.
A close orbit around a giant star will sterilize Earth almost as well, though, and that is developmentally likely. Though last I heard, Earth’s thought to become uninhabitable well before the Sun develops into a giant stage, as it’s growing slowly more luminous over time.
