Relic by Alan Dean Foster

Foster postulates the end of mankind in this book.   The Relic is the last human survivor of a genetically tailored virus that has wiped out mankind. 

The Relic is discovered by the Myssari, an alien race that informs him that there are many other races and that humans arose in a back water of the galaxy that was only recently being explored.  

The Myssari are polite and alien.   Ruslan, the Relic, finds he is regarded as a specimen rather than an equal.  Treated like a revered pet he becomes reasonably comfortable until he is introduced to another alien race and some genetic surprises.

I recommend the book.
