Sadly man's cruelty doesnt end with their own kind, look at all the innocent animals they have hunted down. In the last century (20th C) alone world's elephant population declined by 97% just because of greedy trophy hunters killing them for their tusks which were sold to the ivory trade markets. sometimes I feel ashamed to be a human...
Humans won't be around fore-ever. The time that humans have been on this planet is just a miniscule faction of time in the grand scheme of things. And we've already 1/2 destroyed the planet. Dinosaurs ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years. Humans will be lucky to last even a tiny fraction of that. Evolution never stops. Not until the Sun wipes out all life.
Hopefully, we'll be replaced with something more civilized.
I think it's interesting to look at Chernobyl as an example of the damage humans can do to the biosphere, specifically relating to wildlife and fauna. Obviously, Chernobyl's power plant went nuclear over 30 years ago now but the surrounding environment is still highly radioactive causing it to be unsafe and uninhabited by humans. Despite this, the place is now a wildlife refuge and is inhabited by all kinds of animals - wolves, moose, deer, wild horses, etc. Fauna is also flourishing, implying that the damage humans do collectively to the environment is worse than dense radiation.
Yup Chernobyl was disastrous, although it wasnt an act of war but an accident. The proximity of chemical hazards aren't that dangerous, but the proximity of nuclear and biological hazards are of enormous danger and could wipe out the entire civilization...
IIN, the case of medieval bio warfare?
