What are your theories on how humans will be wiped out?

no where near it, theres so much things on the planet that can still kill us with ease. And what about all the people with special abilities e.g photgraphic memory etc

plus, im we're all still evolving right now. scientists have noted that our brain sizes are decreasing (this is good in that all signals can travel faster)

If it escalated to mutually assured destruction by nuclear weapons, quite possible.

Including the radioactive aftermath, we'll all be super deformed and eventually die if it does get that big of a war.

I think we'll run out of food or space and the carrying capacity of the land will just give in. I'd like to see it happen. I think the destruction of the human race is pretty much what we deserve.

I don't think we can run out of food? Unless we started shipping dead things into space and not back into the planet then we'd run out. Food might not be the problem, it might be water.

But we are simply evolving into helping us survive, we are evolving into better things. We have the capacity to do that so we are the ultimate beings. By what you're saying there will never be an 'ultimate being' because things around everyone changes and we need to evolve / adapt to that.
 
We'll all just forget to breathe one day. Someone will obviously post a thread on OcUK asking 'How do I breathe?' but, it will be too late, those that could have answered would already be dead.

'Spec me a breathing machine!'

But they will be too late to read all the replies of 'Your lungs!'
 
I think humans will destroy themselves. Overpopulation is unlikely, as eventually one race will take over and start wars to give themselves more space, same goes for lack of food. Obviously there are no new places to go, but since when has taking over another country been a problem for our species ;).

I think the most likely cause will be either a war or a human-caused plague of some incurable illness. We've been here for a million years+ and survived other things. Unfortunately we've only been capable of wiping ourselves out for the past 50.

Who told you humans have been around for a million years+?

dominant in no way means ultimate, if we were the ultimate we could-

fly
survive underwater
survive radiation
regenerate
resist all poisons/infections
never get ill
resist disease
eat anything
survive anywhere

Overpopulation is very likely as we're shooting our way to 9 billion very quickly and we've still not sorted out the issue of renewable fuel sources.

As for the one race taking over idea, that was tried in the late 1930s and it failed. :D

I'm pretty sure the Americans would give it a try again if they felt their own lives were in danger. There are a hell of a lot more of them than Germans :p.
 
I think it will be instant a suprise and we will all just die and no one will ever know.

Would make a good film.

It's very unlikely, as that will never wipe out the human race. Equilibrium will be reached between the number of humans and the amount of resources, with a potential decrease in population along the way, but at some point there will be enough to sustain the remaining x billion humans.

Even if it means we have zero fossil fuels and have to go back to the stone age, it won't cause human extinction.

Good point, forgot about the topic for a moment there.
 
Dont take this any other way then its intended, but isnt the "black gene" a dominant gene, meaning if a black and white person had sex, you have a higher chance a black child?

Meaning in the end, we'll all be black skinned?
