If we were to remove humans, the planet would be a different place. Scientists have long argued that the existence of humans is the key factor in the disappearance of many species, including large mammals. But a recent study suggests that removing human species could be beneficial. In fact, some experts say that a world without humans is better for many species. The question then becomes: Would earth be worse off without humans?
Whether the planet would be better off without humans is an open question, but we know that the vast majority of animals would survive without humans. Thousands of species of birds, reptiles, and other creatures would still live on Earth. The only thing we might have to do to prevent this is to make the planet more diverse. For example, a planet without humans could have as diverse an ecosystem as the Serengeti in East Africa. And if we did not have humans, the world may have been as populated as the Serengeti today. If this had been the case, the planet could have been as hospitable as the Serengeti today.
If humans were not around, the planet would be an even more varied place. The Serengeti in East Africa would have been home to cave lions, slightly bigger species of lion that was present in Europe until about 12,000 years ago. And the Americas would have had a rich array of megafauna. The Mediterranean Islands and northern Europe might also have endemic species such as elephants and rhinoceroses.
If humans hadn’t invaded the world, our planet would still be a better place for them. The COVID-19 pandemic has made many scientists worry about the future of Earth. But a lack of humans does not mean that the planet is not better off. If human populations were removed, it could become a thriving ecosystem. If we had a more sustainable planet, the population of humans would decrease.
Humans were created in God’s image. They were created last on the sixth day of creation and deemed very good. In the Bible, God told us that our goal is to rule over other living beings, fill the earth with life, and subdue it. In our current world, humans have only made one thing that matters: they are God. If humans were gone, would the earth be better? And if humans had been gone, would it still be better?
Modern humans are an inevitable part of the planet’s ecosystem. By eliminating them, we can allow other species to thrive. For example, the Neanderthals became extinct because their genetic diversity was so low, and their genetic traits were so limited. This would have allowed for significant changes to occur, but those changes might not have been as drastic as we see them today. The evolution of other species would continue to be the best thing for the planet.
Humans are not necessary for the world to be a better place. Animals are a part of it. But if we don’t eliminate them, we’d make it less good for other species. And they are also the only species that can make our planet better. Those that remain on earth are the people we care about. And we are their offspring. That’s why we are so important.
The answer is “Yes.” In other words, humans are not necessary. Nature will take care of the rest. We are essential to the world’s ecosystem. Unless we’re going to eradicate it, we will end up destroying it. Similarly, we are responsible for the destruction of our environment. And if we are not careful, we will destroy it. Moreover, we’re responsible for our own extinction.
The evolution of modern humans was inevitable. It would have allowed other species to evolve. In addition to humans, it would have allowed for other species to survive. However, eradicating the Neanderthals’ low genetic diversity prevented them from surviving, making them extinct. If the Earth had no humans, it would be better for the rest of the planet. Despite its destructiveness, the human genome has the capacity to cause change.
