Humans and extinction

Ok, I dont like to type out long ass posts because most of the time I end up not making any sense at all, so i'll keep it short in hopes you guys will know what im saying. Anyways, in school today during class the subject came up of prehistoric creatures in the past and the rate of extinction at which each species, well, become extinct. Most of these mass extinction happens because of disease, or of course, humungous meteors. Also, it would seem from collected data that a mass(if not mass, then relatively large) extinction has occured about every 5 million years and has followed this pattern since the beginning of time. Now my teacher suggests(and I must say I do agree) that humans wont die from disease, war or any meteor(meteorite?)striking the earth, but rather, that we will reach a point of evolutionary stasis in which we cannot progress any further in our natural human form and eventually must become something else entirely to survive...aka cyborg, android, etc... What do you guys think about this? Will we eventually die off, because war, disease or what have you, or will we figure out a way to avoid what is programmed into nature?

Your moms a cyborg.

The only reason our natural human forms wouldn't be sufficient any more is because of said disease, war or meteor.

yeah, a hot cyborg.

I think your full of poo. They should make reading Darwins book mandatory even though it was boring as all hell.


ok, i was a bit harsh. But this is not the way evolution works. I think the last evolutionary advantage humans ever will need it the prefrontal cortex. So the end of the species will be from a global change in which it is impossible to adapt to. like say th epolar caps melt, we cannot survive in water...we die.


and nothing is programmed into nature, its all coincidence.

thats christina aguilera, actually.

Well I can tell already this thread is going to shit.

I think you should stop listening to your high school teachers, and stop watching the sci-fi channel as a substitute for the learning channel.

oh lets see here. ill be serious. More serious than smoking pot and boning chicks. cuz that isnt real.


YEAH< WELL ALL BE FUCKING ROBOTS>

Well I believe its a valid point that he states. Considering the fact that humans will inevitably travel outward into space, making change/evolution also inevitable.

If what we're being fed by the government and scientists is true...

First, there is no such thing as a valid point, a point is an opinion of someone that cannot be proven fact or false. One can only say, its a good or bad point, based upon the facts that can be presented along with the opinion that has been stated.

So to continue, yes, he makes a point about how humans shall have to make a change/evolution in order to adapt towards the varying changes we continually will endure (different planets and space climates <-a possibility) but one must remember that it is not the fact that our climates or enviroment is changing us as humans. It is our technology, our consumption of food and our pollution that makes us so very different from all other species amd is what effects us the most as humans. This is what makes us very unpredictable as we continue to find new ways to change the world we live in and how we adapt to these changes. So while I believe there shall be some sort of minor change in our evolution chain, the extent of believing we will be half cyborg men is a bit too far fetched for even my own creative tastes.

I wouldn't say it was an impossibility, just as I would never put the idea of God as an impossibility, I just wouldn't put it past much more than faith, fantasy, or science fiction.
