About This Quote
In the 21st century, many of us have a hard time imagining a world in which our species will survive and be here for a thousand years. But, the fact is that we do not know what the future will look like. So, it would be foolish to assume that our present circumstances will continue into the distant future. On the other hand, some people believe that humans will eventually eradicate themselves from the Earth and that this is our ultimate fate.
