HUMANs: Endangered Species


Everyone knows we are destroying the conditions on Earth that have helped us evolve to the beings we are now. Breathing and adapting to the Earth's third atmosphere, our muscle structures were formed due to Earth's gravity, the way we metabolize foods, ect.

Yet there is no doubt that we are driving the sixth major extinction event in the Earths history. Our own.

We all know about global warming, pollution, overpopulation, disease...and these all factor in...but what about the longevity of our lives?

The increase in our longevity is slowing our evolution and our adaptability to these earth changes that we ourselves are making. Animals, insects, plants and other living creatures have a much shorter life span helping them evolve with the changes in the earth at a decent rate. Humans, on the other hand, are increasing their life expectancy and slowing down our evolution of adaptation to these changes.

Will the human race survive? No

We do have a chance of survival but not on this planet. 

If the human race IS to survive, we must colonize space and even that is highly questionable. Where do we go? Do we try to adapt to another planets climates?
Do we have rotating space colonies just outside the Earth's orbit? And, better yet, do we have enough time?
