How long do you honestly think humans as a species will last?

Crap, this stuff is impossible to predict. What say you?

The species? For quite some time. Our society? I give it 500 years.

I don't know. Transitioning from a type 0 civilization into a type 1 civilization is going to be a scary time for humans.

We are witnessing the birth pangs of this transition right now

Humanity as a species will persist for a long, long time.

Even if we have to live underground thanks to the nuclear winter haunting the Earth above, we will find a way to survive.

Thanks to the discovery of water and Helium-3 (the most efficient energy source in the world that allows Fusion energy to happen) on the moon, there is the definite potential of establishing a permanent moon colony.

If all the money that we spend on pointless wars was invested in a space colonization program, we could potentially be living in colonies right now.

And it's been demonstrated that life on a space station is certainly doable...if costly.

If only we could devise some kind of "gravity machine."

Millions of years at least

We will last for a very long time. No other species is giving us any competition. A gorilla might have the strenghth of 8 men, too bad it can't stop 1 bullet to the head.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] I think for homo sapiens it's been 100,000 at the most.[QUOTE="Disopian_XX"][QUOTE="AussieePet"]Forever as long as people are horny the Human race shall never die. Xx_Socrates_xX

Humans(knowntaxonomicallyasHomo sapiens,[3][4]Latinfor "wise man" or "knowing man")[5]are the only livingspeciesin theHomogenus.Anatomically modern humansoriginated inAfricaabout 200,000 years ago, reaching fullbehavioral modernityaround 50,000 years ago.[6]

Forever. By the time he sun explodes our technology will be so advanced that we will be able to live other places. Of course, by then we won't look anything like modern day humans. We went from apes to humans in just a less than a million years, so what we become after billions is going to be really interesting. We're still at the early stages of life so how we evolve even further is up to nature and our habits.

Until the sun goes out.... a long time from now.Dogswithguns

10 minutes cause I have some serious gas tonight, and no one will live through it.

The only way humans will die out is

1. We drop bombs on ourselves committing civilization suicide

2. Aliens come kick our ass

As long as the Earth exists.

i give it a couple hundred more years. the issue is that we'll soon have overcrowding and people living too long.

Depends on lots of extraneous factors like possible asteroid strikes, supervolcanoes, etc. Those things can wipe us out.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Except that 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water and the not all the ground cover is "livable". We also have the resources to think about. Yes there is definitely an overpopulation problem.kuraimen
