About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not.
But of course, no doubt about it.
We could easily go extinct. And no-one would care…
The planet and life on it would simply go on.

we're s tupid virus that kills its host
but damn.. architecture, music, art, dance, books... a partially brilliant mfking virus.
@Sheril Yep. Live will evolve.
The rock is not resiliant. Life on it could end. Our lack of responsibility will have consequence. Is having consequence.
@Sheril You are so right.
@Sheril Yeah most folks don’t realize that we’re just a tiny blip in between a couple of random ice ages… The Earth will certainly live on long past humanity.
@Sheril I find that oddly comforting.
