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

Dem Imnigrants iz gonna kill us innit?
'Dey took ma' job' followed by everyone killing each other in the name of Communism.

Them Commies are plotting as we're saying other more credible theories...

We will die fighting a huge war entailing the following factors/ justifications:
Communists launch nukes.
Radiation Virus kills lots of things.
Water runs out.
We fight for our very survival amongst each other.
And finally a religious undertone to this crackpot apocalypse.

But at least Jesus will come and save some of us :p

Why, hello there flu pandemic ;)

the odds of being able to evolve during the course of one desiease is very low.

Those that are some how immune may be separated by entire continents, so breading chances are slim, besides the fact they may b killed by others during the pandemic after all has anyone evolved to be immune to the common flu yet?

More likely there will be a cure, developed for some, and they will live in isolation until then.
 
Well I reakon we are well on the way now.....

We are draining the earth's natural resources far too quickly, we can't continue on this path, we are a constant headache for this planet...

I reakon that we will implode with our own greed, we will kill each other off......first an economical war then a world war.....

We are a disease, we are overpopulating this planet, and something has to give...........I cant see it being the planet just yet....

Mmm. Its almost as if those more resistant are being selected... ;)

but how come we aren't immune to small pox the plague, and the dozens of other desieases that have brought whole continents to ruin?

Also with humans now selection is not that likely to happen as those that survive will be those that can afford to isolate themselves or pay for a cure/preventative medication.

And those that are somehow immune ( is anyone immune to the common flu anyway?) would probably be killed by the new mutated version that would arise by the end of the year, like with the current flu, that or killed by others during the crisis.
 
on a serious note i think war will be the cause of the end of mankind as its our hobby to destroy each other.

Because of the Red Queen.

How is that not selection? Selection does always choose for the 'fittest' population.

I'm reading 'The Red Queen' by Matt Ridley at the moment, great book for anyone interested in human behaviour.
