"superior" doesn't mean anything until it's put to the test | ||

I would put my money on either something man made (either weapon or something that backfired like the Matrix), some unstoppable evolving disease, or some doomsday thing from space (meteor, gamma ray burst, etc, etc.) Something like global warming or a super volcano will probably devastate the earth really badly but not everyone will die. The strong will survive. As history/prehistory has shown geologists most of the wipeouts like the shit that killed the dinosaurs or the end of the Cambrian period were not just 1 meteor that killed everything, it was usually a combination of a meteor (there is a GRB theory as well) and something else earth born combined which wiped everything out. as far as this topic, there is probably one of these every year and I post this every time: http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm Very interesting read but lots of shit to read, be prepared to kill more than a few hours. (some of it is just plain silly but still a possibility?) | ||

Ever since humans started changing the environment around them, we stopped letting the environment change us -> we're not really evolving any more. Really, how is today's human better than 4000 years ago-human? Are we stronger? Do we have stronger anti-bodies? Have we eliminated blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin? No, we're just as vulnerable as they were, if not WEAKER. You'd tend to say we're smarter, but we're not. We just have more to work with. Technology evolves, not people. We're not smarter or more intelligent than 4000 years ago, in other words, as Joe Rogan put it: "If I left you alone on a deserted island with nothing but a club, how long before you could send me an e-mail?" | ||
