How long do you think the human race will exist.?

Question

DO YOU THINK THAT WE WILL END OUR EXISTANCE OR NATURE WILL. DO TO OUR KNOWLEGE OF NUCLEARE
WEAPONS, AND OUR POLUTING OF THIS PLANET. OR
DO TO OUTER SPACE OBJECTS THAT COULD SMASH OUR PLANET INTO PEICES. WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK WILL END US FIRST.

Answer 1

campbelp2002s got a good point there. genetic engenering nanotechnology and cloned and grown prostetic organs will extend humans for quite some time.

I actually have great faith in the bettering of the human mind.
Many will be slaves to commercialism, as they are now, but there is a real working and thinking world out there that will continue as well with new ideas, understandings, and discoveries, they will make the substance of our life change to mind bending proportions.

quantum mechanics, quantum computing, robotics,

and dare I also say string theory, relativity, and the universe
(this dudes determined to make one of these changes already, he might be crazy though)

War is terrible, but on the other hand it keeps our population down. Over population will be an exponentially bigger problem in the future. I think most governments will keep others in check for the most part or at least keep one power from over taking the whole world against its will.

I'm not afraid of a rock from space hitting us. We already have started a plan of action and will investigate twice an astroid thats on its way toward us. No fear though. it will be close but it won't kill us. we plan to use ion thrusters to play tug boat with it to move it further away from us.


antibiotic resistance disease will be a much larger problem capable of crippling our population so that the ability for normal working, harvesting, manufacturing, and teaching will become lost to the majority of people.

genetic engineering could save us from that though.

pollution is currently probably our biggest threat. We already have cleaner burning fuel, like corn, nuclear and even water.

If we keep moving in the right direction, implementing these new systems quickly could make a huge improvement.

Answer 2

Considering how long other dominate species in the earth's past have survived we are just getting started. Out of us destroying ourselves or outer space objects killing us, to destroy all human life it would have to be a asteroid. Some would survive in a nuclear attack.

Answer 3

the oldest fossil data for anatomically cutting-side human beings is approximately one hundred thirty,000 years previous in Africa, and there is data for cutting-side human beings interior the close to East sometime previously ninety,000 years in the past. of direction, you ask regarding the 'human race' that's very fuzzy - how do you define human? would you contain previously homonids, wherein case the date is going lower back via 2 or 3 million years! and how do you define race? Do you advise lifestyle? Civilization? wherein case we are speaking greater presently!

Answer 4

We can't say what will happen for sure but the human race will end one day. It will exist for about more thousands of years. Maybe the humanity will end up in the diseases caused by the enviornmental pollution.

Answer 5

None of those will end humanity. I think humans will evolve themselves voluntarily and artificially using genetic engineering into a whole other species in "only" a few thousand years. And that won't end life, it will just change its nature drastically.

Answer 6

we will kill ourselves at this point in time unless people change their thinking and the ways we act, and live on this planet. so start thinking about how to change the earth and all humans from the status quo

Answer 7

It's in our nature to destroy ourselves but we also have the wisdom and knowledge to prevail against the total annihilation of our species.
