Question

Do you think that humans will be the first species to prevent their own extinction?

Answer 1

They're preventing it for now. BUt because of the destruction of the Earth, we're going to be extinct. Unless we change our careless ways.

Answer 2

Eventually, I think everything must come to an end, so no, not in the long run.  Besides, how do we know that the cat (Or any other animal, for that matter) has not, at some point prevented its own extinction?  We don't really know if something was ever (for sure) going to become extinct until it actually went extinct.  See what I am saying?

Answer 3

I don't know if we can say for sure (especially since we won't know if we don't prevent our extinction, since we'll be extinct!), but it can't be denied that our reasoning abilities and use of technology are shaping our environment and ourselves in ways that separate us from the normal system of natural selection.

Answer 4

No, because, if nothing else, we will eventually evolve into a new species and humans will be obsolete.

The same thing that happens to other extinct species.  They don't just die off and new species pop up from nowhere.  The old ones become the new ones.

Answer 5

The answer is optional.

1. At this time we humans are really far from extinction. But in our mother earth's case, I think that the end is near. It's not that I am making all the readers fear, but it's about something biblical.

Jesus promised his second coming right? Well, part of the signs are the global warming, the storms and many other.  We could save ourselves if we do good, but doing bad is another story.

I'm not trying to scare anyone, just answering a question.

Answer 6

NO, it's in our nature to destroy things why do you think we have wars and destroy the earth by polluting it, actually we are doing the most damage to ourselves and the earth, we are actually casuing extinction of some animals like the polar bears, so no we are extincting animals and destroying the earth they're is no way we will prevent extinction of ourselves we are actually speeding up the extinction process.

Answer 7

Yes I do believe that humans can prevent extinction because we are continuously growing. But that is if our Creator won't end us up...hehehe!
