| Topic | How much longer do you think humans will survive? |
| junk_funk 02/26/20 6:01:37 PM #15: | Got to consider geologic time ranges. Dinosaurs lasted roughly 200 million years. We as a species are going to beat that time span and we're only at 200,000 years or so. In fact, we will likely be the last mammals standing and the last large animals surviving. Can't underestimate intelligence and tool use of humans. It was one of nature's most amazing adaptations of DNA. Assuming no other species develops that topples our own in intelligence, we will likely "rule" this world for the next few billion years. I could see some bugs and definitely microbes beating us out. We will also look completely and ridiculously different by then due to the altering of our DNA over that amount of time. Catastrophes might arise that wipe out tons of us at once. But humans as a species...very resilient to all changes, much more than all other animals. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
