Human extinction

Mass Extinction of the Human Species The future is not guaranteed for individuals, and the same is true for all of humanity. Of the millions of species that exist on this planet humans are known as the most intelligent, but maybe this is a misconception. While mankind carries on its activities, the chance of a mass extinction grows with every misuse of the earth. It is more likely that humans will cause their own extinction than it is that they would be wiped out by a natural catastrophe. Humans are also known as a violent species so it is not unreasonable for one to analyze the threat of a mass extinction due to a nuclear war. Humanity is looking into biological warfare as well, and it would be foolish to ignore the risks and the…

Sharks are considered kings of the ocean for dwelling the oceans for almost 450 million years. The first human-like animal, in fact, did not appear on Earth until 4.5 million years. By surviving five mass extinctions, these fish have adapted to many changes (Shark Savers). With the existence of more than 450 species, these apex predators can reside at different latitudes, depths, and salinity levels. Most inhabit in tropical and temperate oceanic waters, where some have the adaptability to enter…

INTRODUCTION The human population on Earth has been growing at an alarming rate bringing with it an ever growing need for food, energy and land use, amongst many others. At the same time, the list of animal species recorded as being extinct or on the verge of being extinct gets longer and longer. Is this phenomenon coincidence or are these two occurrences directly link to each other? This research task aims to investigate if there is reliable proof that human population growth and species…

In “Human Extinction and the Value of Our Efforts,” Brooke Alan Trisel writes on the relationship between the meaning of life and the existence of future generations. He states that we do not need future generations in order to have meaningful lives. I will argue in support of Trisel’s position by stating his views and discussing various objections to it. After expositing Trisel’s view, I will first address an objection that Trisel proposes and refutes on the relationship of importance and…

Human Extinction The events I’m about to reveal to the public, are ones that will potentially alter one’s perspective, question fiction from reality, as well as virtually force them into thinking twice about the actions they commit. My father and I had just finished spending a fantastic weekend camping as well as fishing. While fishing, I accidentally killed an otter , but I didn't give it much importance at that moment.Whenever any form of leisure time is presented, other than my spouse,…

I disagree with Lee Clarke 's statement because catastrophes are life changing events that affect everyone in certain ways, therefore, they should not be looked at as something normal because they don 't happen often. For some, it marks a day that their life has been changed forever, therefore, they should be seen as special. Catastrophes are events that humans try to overcome themselves. In Oedipus rex, the previous king…

over centuries, have developed symbiotic relationships with each other as a way of survival. In other words, this “Circle of Life” has been established and for centuries has been effective enough to sustain Earth’s species. However, what happens when one of these relationships turns parasitic? What happens when a foreigner invades a habitat and damages the relationships established by the species? Humans are one of the most egocentric species. Their main concern is getting the resources…

Earth’s biodiversity is been around for eons, one of the key factors why it have existed that long, is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as…

but the humans as claimed by Pat Shipman (2015). Humans are the only species who has played a big role in the extinction of other species living around it. It has built and destroyed habitats and put the threat of extinction to others. Humans, according to me, is one species which can build and destroy the habitats it's living around. Humans have a much bigger brain than most of the other species making them the smarter than others. Humans use their brain to build houses such as with stones,…

Many species in the world are endangered and eventually becoming extinct. The main problem that generates extinction is human activity; people cause extinction every day and unknowingly to them, it is killing innocent animals. Due to pollution, natural forces, human interaction, and loss of habitats, animal extinction is a major crisis in the world; people are the only ones that can save the animal population before it is too late. Pollution is among the most insidious threats to animal…
