  • We humans are just another evolved species that may or may not survive. Dinosaurs were the most successful species on the planet having survived and evolving for millions of years until an asteroid wiped them out. They may very well have survived if not for that but then we as a species would not have had a chance to be here.

    We humans have only been here a few hundred thousand years compared to the dinosaurs millions of years. We will just be another of earth's failed experiments unless we get our act together and find world peace and/or figure out how to travel light years to inhabit other planets and start over again as a planetary community rather than like little kids like we are now fighting for our own little corner of the sandbox we call earth.

    If we carry on the way we are now I see no long term future for humans as we will inhialate ourselves in a nuclear haulocost or pandemic.

    • Interesting. If our technology would be so advance which would allow us to travel to another planet, how are we going to survive in another planet? Our DNA is evolved in order to adapt to the Earth’s atmosphere and considering we don’t reproduce often, would we be able to fully adapt to a new planet, for example, on Mars, by obtaining the ability to be able to breathe CO2 instead of O2? You probably already know that the Earth was made up with mostly CO2 many years ago and the ability to breathe O2 was obtained by a single-celled ancestor, not the human species, so we don’t have the ability to evolve fast enough to adapt to another planet.

      In conclusion, i think it’s impossible to inhabit another planet but who knows, maybe the gradual increase of CO2 would give us time to adapt. I talk too much sorry😂

      • But maybe if our knowledge of biology becomes more complex, we can figure out how to adapt ourselves by using dna coding(or whatever it’s called) and make ourselves mutant. Scientists say that in a few years, we’ll be able to genetically code how we want our offspring, and maybe other animal offsprings too. Who knows what we can do with biology in a few hundred years or less?
