Could we suvive if only 6 species remained after global warming/pollution/nuclear war etc? I know it would be boring, but could we? Another way of looking at it would be to consider what species we would take with us on a 1000 year space flight that would have to be self sustainable. My nominations are chickens, wheat, canola (for oil), chinese cabbage, pumpkin, yeast (for bread, beer).
