How long will humans last?

Question

Seeing as how the dinosaurs had a good run - 200 million years... surely a more intelligent (although psychotic) creature like the human being can do better than a giant lumbering lizard with a pea sized brain in its butt?

Answer 1

Our super intelligence does indeed lead us to an earlier self destruction. We have the ability to seek answers, but when we really reach our full potential, whatever that may be, then the human race will be no more. Not cynical, but inevitable.

Answer 10

i think we gonna be here for a while, some will die and some will be born, i know they working on removing the sun rays to hit earth, i actually wonder when is humans gonna go live in space

Answer 11

Well, if we avoid killing each other, and dysgenics turns out to be false, then I'd say we have a few thousand years left.  I say this because of my personal belief that we, as primarily a tool-using species, as a tool to help speed the progress of evolution (along similar lines as sexual reproduction, multicellular organisms, etc) and that it is our job to further it ourselves.  As such, once we create the first intelligent self-replicating machines, we will have served our purpose and can peter out into non-existence.  Either that or we will eventually upgrade our mental and physical abilities so much that we will no longer be human.

That is, or course, if we don't kill us all completely off or nuke us back to the stone age, or if dysgenics turns out to be true (as it looks that way) and we all devolve back into glorified monkeys.

Answer 12

IMO our intelligence is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. We've moved from a survivalist creature to an evolved being that manipulated anything and everything no matter the consequences for personal gain.

And for that reason, I can easily see us killing each other off within the next few hundred years, even though we are well adapted enough to survive much much longer.
