- martiuk 11y agoHumans could, if we (as a species) could all work towards survival, the most powerful feature we have evolved is the intelligence to adapt rapidly within lifetimes rather than over millennia. I'd like to think most countries would band together to be able to survive a sudden event as all of their survival is dependant on it. I'd say most species couldn't adapt before a sudden event (how would they know?) but can adapt to the after effects of such event.
- tw04 11y agoYou're assuming they'd stop looking out for #1 and stop fighting over whatever limited resources were left. I'd like to believe it would happen, but history doesn't really reflect that.
- danieltillett 11y agoYes most species, but they are rather small. If you want to see tough then have a look at what Bacteria and Archea can survive.
