Destiny of Homo sapiensThis is my take.
Nothing is permanent.
This applies to Humans.
We did evolve and evolution continues.
May be the climate change we caused is a part of evolution itself,
Meaning that it is irreversible and the consequences to Homo sapiens will be catastrophic. That too may be the part of evolution — our time has come, come to an end.
New forms will evolve with different levels of intelligence. If high levels of intelligence ends up self-destructive, how will it fit into the evolutionary process?
This is to some degree equivalent to the concept of “Invisible Hand” in Economics — certain built-in aspects of the process.
When we reach this level of ignorance, we say, “God Knows.”
But which one?
