will the human race meet the fate of extinction just like dinosaurs who ruled the earth?

Answer 1

It's entirely possible. There are thousands of asteroids that could strike Earth and take us out. We're trying to identify and track those that might hit us, but right now there's not enough resources to do the job.

If we did detect a big asteroid headed our way tomorrow, there's absolutely nothing we could do about it right now. Hopefully, in time, we'll have the means to destroy or deflect such an object before it impacts, but right now we do NOT.

Answer 2

It all depends. Perhaps in the distant future we will have the technology to find and populate other habitable planets. That way, even when the sun grows big enough to burn everything on Earth, the human race will never die.
Additionally, sexual reproduction can give offspring the best traits of both parents, making us stronger against certain kinds of death with each passing generation (evolution).
However, humanity's wasteful management of Mother Nature's resources and ignorance about the roles of every organism on the planet may kill us before we ever enter the future.

Answer 3

Yes eventually but it could be in hundreds of millions of years or even billions when the sun expands as it runs out of fuel in 6 to 7 billion years time or when the Andromeda galaxy collides with the Milky Way in about three billion years time. The dinosaurs were around for 160 million years while we have been around for less than a million so if we last as long as them we will be doing well.

Answer 4

The dinosaurs died because their environment changed far to quickly for them to adapt.
We have the ability to change the environment to suit us, which is something the dinosaurs could never do, so any extinction level event would have to be far more severe than what the dinosaurs faced.

Answer 5

Yes. Consider the following: Global warming threatens every form of life on the planet. Environmental degradation threatens to destroy all life on earth. We are drowning in our own filth, breathing dirty air, and seem hell-bent on total destruction. Violence has become the order of the day. Dominance and hate have replaced any sort of agape. The human psyche is psychologically split from itself and from any sort of connection to the earth. Relationships of all sorts are often based upon self-benefiting reciprocity (I won't call you on your stuff if you don't call me on mine), in order to keep an economic machine going that is systematically destroying everything in its path. An emphasis on sex keeps us from facing the fact that we despise the human body. Institutionalized religion has ravaged true spirituality. Fundamentalism has become the order of the day and we are looking at the potential for worldwide totalitarianism that promises to kill off anything that smacks of creative, compassionate community. Our brutal narcissism and lust for power has become a lethal weapon and our world has become an insane asylum, thanks in large part to the behavior of the small group of individuals who control the United States of America. The vicious attitudes and the violent responses taken toward the lamentations expressed by so many threaten to drown us in an ocean of despair. This has only taken us about 250 years.

We will continue to pollute the Earth, to use up all of our natural resources, and literally breed ourselves out of existence.

Answer 6

unlike what alot of people think that we'll die off in 2000 to a billion years the way we are producing ourselves the amount of polution being produced global warming extinction of other animals we'll be gone in 80 to a hundred years

Answer 7

Unlike the dinosaurs, we have the ability to survive just about anything. Don't sweat it.

Answer 8

Yes. It is a mathematical probability. But............

We will most likely evolove into or be the ancestor to another species like the Neadertals were to us. So our legacy will continue until the sun dies.

Answer 9

May be after some billions of years.

Answer 10

i think yes because of pollution ext. and eventually in like 2000 more years we'll go down.
