You got the right man for the Bass pics. You want a blonde or a brunette holding the fish? Haha.

Nah, I don't think humans have an extraterrestrial origin, although it's an interesting theory. Our DNA is too close to too many other organisms on this planet. What I think is that the mutations that gave us this ability to invent technology, while certainly advantageous in the short run (and yes, a few hundred thousand years is a "short run", considering the dinosaurs lasted a hundred million years or so), may end up being detrimental to us as well as a lot of other species in the longer run.

But who knows...maybe the next big asteroid strike, or the next supervolcanic eruption, is just a few years away, and if it doesn't completely wipe us out, maybe those who are left will learn from past mistakes.

I just finished reading an interesting book, "The World Without Us". It describes all the ways we've modified the landscape and natural systems, all the things we've done and built, and how long they would last if mankind suddenly disappeared. Lots of the stuff we consider our greatest achievements would disappear pretty rapidly, and lots of the things we should be least proud of will last a LONG time (like all the nuclear waste we've produced).

Just think of the havoc the first few decades without humans to control it. Before nature can take over.

Thousands of dams with no humans to control the ebb and flow of the water for one. Floods in some areas and dry beds for others. Not to mention the evential degradation of the structures themselves.

Ive read theories that cattle will turn into the most populas species on the planet, followed by domestic dogs and cats. At least until a check and balance of the species is stablized.

Understory flora will conjest the land due to foriegn ivys like kudzu growing unchecked.

The damage that the humans have done is extremely permanent and the effects will definately stain the balance of the planet probably for centuries if not millenias. Even if the humans were to be removed from the equation of it all.
