So What Do You Think Will Happen?

[Violet]

One million humans is a lot yes, when they're all living in the same city. Spread all around the world however, is pretty damn few humans.

And I suppose there are pretty damn few brown bears and they are all going extinct?

Sure, it's not enough for a city... and it might even be reduced to families instead of small villages... but they would repopulate the world eventually.

Especially when you consider that most humans today are not equipped to deal with living off the land. What would you do without your precious XBox and your tap water and your Ipod and your pre-wrapped ground hamburger Sae?

What would I do? Pley my PS2, drink from the lake outside (or head to the beach where I can get spring water during the summer... snow is everywhere in the winter and I can use that), play music on guitar and whatnot again, and I never ate hamburger much to begin with.

Most humans today have arms and legs and hands and feet and a brain... and really that's all you need to be 'equipped' with to survive.

You might survive, most would not. You're also not factoring in the possibility that accessibility to good drinking water could possibly be very limited and natural food sources such as fishing and hunting might be completely non-existent.

Might? Haha... hell yes I would survive. The hell is 'good drinking water' when you're trying to survive? So long as it isn't poison or diseased with something you can't adapt to: it's good.

If natural food sources are nonexistent: then there are no survivors to begin with, and we're no longer talking simply '1/7000'th of the humans survive: we're talking extermination of life on earth... which is even harder to do. I mean: that's freaking amazing.

There's too many factors to justify a simple, "nah". Add to the fact that .0001% of any species remaining alive is considered to be on the verge of "near extinction" regardless of it's former size.


I stand by what I said.

.0001% of the Klackon in this galaxy is roughly 46,000,000,000,000 individual Klackon. Yeah... that isn't even close to 'near extinction'. Near extinction is a matter of numbers remaining and concentration of those numbers, it has nothing to do with the former size (which is where the whole '.0001%' thing comes from, btw).

I stand by what I say: 1 million humans is not 'near extinction'.

What would you do if you got an infection? Or broke a leg?

Life would pretty much suck.

It would be far far worse than losing those other things. The infection depends on where, and if hydrogen peroxide/epsom salt is available... the broken leg you pretty much can't fix without modern medicine.
