[quote]I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like us Homo sapiens don't take shit seriously until it happens.[/quote] True. "Lol why would I care about politics?" *Later* "Oh my god how could this politician get voted in?!" Anyway, the end of the world has three stages imo. 1. Our apathy and waste kills off all other animal species. 2. Our wars kill off us. 3. The Sun eats whatever remains. It's possible that in between 2 and 3 new animals will evolve and take over though. Tardigrades and cockroaches, maybe rats, could survive some of humanity's mistakes, and then new species might evolve from them in time. Even without that, some kind of new animal species could evolve much like the first species on Earth did. My history teacher used to say that humans' successors will be rats, but who really knows?
