According to the USGS, humans have survived two volcanic eruptions larger than Yellowstone's most recent cataclysm - one 26,500 years ago, and one 74,000 years ago.
But I guess surviving as a species is different than surviving as a civilization. I don't imagine going back being hunter gathers with a life expectancy of 30 years old would be a lifestyle anyone wants to experience.
