> Why were the previous expansions out of Africa dead ends? They were very successful, at least, some of them. Not as good as us, but expanding to another continent and surviving there for hundreds of thousands of years is not exactly a complete failure. Unfortunately for this planet, our species is just too good at procreating and killing everything on our way | |||||||||||||||||

> Unfortunately for this planet, our species is just too good at procreating and killing everything on our way In a general sense it’s more like unfortunately for us, the planet will endure after we die as a species and then blossom again eventually, just without us. | |||||||||||||||||

I do not believe that humans are capable of completely sterilizing the planet, even if we wanted to. Life will persist even after us, and if not, it won’t be because of us. We are absolutely not capable of destroying the planet itself. Barring some cataclysmic natural event beyond our control, humans will cause the extinction of humans (or not). | |||||||||||||||||
