Thread: The End of the World.

Longcat is loooooooong.

Apart from that, I agree with Oneironaut.

if we are to go extinct, it'll either be at the hands of ourselves, or a meteor.

volcanic eruption is my best thought, after all they have been responsible for or atleast taken part in every mass extinction on earth.

I'm not talking about things like mt st helens or Vesuvius but things like yellowstone or flood basalts like the Siberian or deccan traps

Hmmm, this got me thinking... If ever there is a mass extinction (like only rats or cockroaches or bacteria survive), would evolution repeat it's course with humanoids? Would sencsient creatures ever make a reappearance on this planet?

I voted 'other' because I believe that a non-cosmic natural event will be the end of us.

Reminds me of the Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Oh damn, I'm the only one who's voted Religious Answer so far.

I cant say for sure if there would be another human type species (i doubt it though) but its true that mass extinctions are responsible for population explosions in lesser species like the way mammals took over from dinosaurs.

Another good example is the Permian mass extinction which wiped out 90% of life but in the aftermath not only did life repopulate but spieces variation increased massively so who knows the next time it happens we may get a load of new life forms.
