Question

What would be the dominate specie if humans were gone? And would the world be a better place?

Answer 1

it will probably a kinda insect.

Answer 2

Nothing. If humans were gone, Nature would return itself to biological balance through the course of a few millenia due to the damage we've done.

Answer 3

Hi Great question.

Had to think a while  about  whether I should reply with  a touch of humor or be serious, I chose the latter.

I believe, plants would be the only species to survive, therefore they will be the dominant species.

We will have destroyed everything else.

This global destruction will allow the Earth to repair itself and Mother nature will do the rest.

Cathorio.

Answer 4

Bears.

Better or worse would depend on the opinion of the new dominant species. They might miss us.

Answer 5

Some kind of insect.

Answer 6

none other than....periplanata americana(cockroaches)...my dear fren...!!

                             they r d most ridiculous n most surviving species.

                n more important thing is that it is only the human who is after them to kill them..n no one else.

                  so it will be the era of this brave insect after humans.

Answer 7

probably whatever wiped us out...

Answer 8

Dogs would definitely rule because they hang out in packs, and you can't beat a group.  Of course the world would not be a better place.
