Question

Are Human Beings Earths Parasite?

Answer 1

I think that at the rate we're going, it won't be a super long time until we end up using everything. I really hope that we can find another planet to move to once Earth is destoryed.

Answer 2

not to be stupid or something but i don't even know what is parasite

Answer 3

yes,and not a very efficient one yet, we are damaging our host.

Answer 4

well usually a parasite does damage the host, duh. but we dont only hurt it we help it, so think of some of us as white blood cells

Answer 5

The Earth would have to be alive for us to fit the definition of parasite.  It ain't, so...no.

Answer 6

In some ways.  We are dependent upon the earth, and in the largest sense, the earh is a living thing.  complete with a biosphere.  on the other hand, our use od the earth makes it more hospitable for domesticated and even may undomesticated species.  It wold seem we lack the stewardship on a global scale to confir the title of "symbiotics"upon us. But we are more like those little bugs that live on tree bark and build webs. except now that i think about it, don't actually damage the bark.  so...yes, i guess we atend to be parasitical.

Answer 7

ABSOLUTELY

Answer 8

No - Just you.
