With all this global warming, climate change and climate cliff scares mankind is not sitting in such a wonderful place in the next period as our ancestors of the past period assumed we would be. And that led on online think tank recently to take up the subject of what if humans become extinct? After all the dinosaurs where much tougher creatures than we and they are all gone now you see? One online think tank member Warren states; I expect that they will be the ones who inherit the earth, not us; just consider the cockroach. Yes the predictions are in and there are many possible players; scorpions, cockroaches, locusts, bees, ants, squids and they are all much better adapted and robust than the human design for all the possibilities of cataclysmic evolution. However the large human brain and technology man is creating and the will to survive seems to be a heck of a great reason to not count the human species out entirely. Partly mankinds warring ways are driving him to these new technologies to protect him against the most deadly of all species; himself. Meaning he has good practice at being the top dog on the surface of the planet or right below its surface for many more moons. So, we must also consider that when predicting which species will dominate in the next 50,000 or so years. And I bet humans will not even look the same then. Consider it. |
