Our success is also our destruction

 Once upon a time dinosaurs ruled the world. What does that mean? It simple means that the earth has a great ability to regenerate itself with other species because dinosaurs no longer roam our planet like they did fearlessly for 165 million years. Dinosaurs ruled land, sea and sky, and disappeared mysteriously from the face of the earth some 65 milliion years ago. No one knows exactly why. Modern man or homo sapiens have been around for just 100,000 years or so, and in the last few thousand years the human race has exploded to a point where their numbers and the pollution they create are impacting detrimentally on the natural environment. It is patently obvious that humans are heading down the road of self destruction, and dragging all other species with it into the abyss. According to fossil evidence, dinosaurs didn’t just die out overnight. They thrived here for millions of years. Modern man, in contrast, is barely a blip on the evolutionary radar compared to these giants, and yet our destructive force has been far greater in such a very short period of time.
