What is the future of the human race?
A 2014 study published in Science asserts that the human population will grow to around 11 billion by 2100 and that growth will continue into the next century. Population decline through a preference for fewer children.
What will the next species of human be called?
There’s a new addition to the family tree: an extinct species of human that’s been found in the Philippines. It’s known as Homo luzonensis, after the site of its discovery on the country’s largest island Luzon. Its physical features are a mixture of those found in very ancient human ancestors and in more recent people.
What were humans like 1 million years ago?
About 1.9 million years ago, Homo erectus evolved. This human ancestor not only walked fully upright, but had much larger brains than Homo habilis: nearly twice as large, on average. Homo erectus became the first direct human ancestor to leave Africa, and the first to display evidence of using fire.
Will humans go extinct soon?
The short answer is yes. The fossil record shows everything goes extinct, eventually. Almost all species that ever lived, over 99.9%, are extinct. Humans are inevitably heading for extinction.
Will the earth ever stop spinning?
As scientists have established, the Earth is not going to stop spinning in our lifetimes, or for billions of years. Basically, the Earth suddenly stopping its rotation would completely destroy everything on the Earth’s surface.
What are disadvantages of global warming?
Higher temperatures are worsening many types of disasters, including storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. A warmer climate creates an atmosphere that can collect, retain, and drop more water, changing weather patterns in such a way that wet areas become wetter and dry areas drier.
What happens if we don’t stop climate change?
Global warming increases the risk of more frequent—and heavier—rainfall, snowfall, and other precipitation. And as that risk increases, so too does the risk of flooding.
