And not even a million years being homo sapiens sapiens is sufficient to come to that judgment? We have clocked off about 0.75 percent of the time dinosaurs roamed the land. I wouldn't call that a success yet looking at the big picture.
Dinosaurs died out in a mass extinction. We are causing a mass extinction. We may not be more successful than the dinosaurs, but we are certainly more nihilistic. That's got to count for something.
