It makes a lot of sense to for people to stop progressing once the resources they need are depleted but that is not true for other species which may thrive when humans are out. And I think other species could obtain the spark intelligence we got too and evolve from there.
- kaybe 6y agoWon't other species need resources too at some point?
- scotty79 6y agoYou can do only so much with intelligence if there are no metals or fossil fuels on your planet. With all the ingenuity you can't make reasonable amount of chemical elements that don't occur in your environment.
- tartoran 6y agoWait, aren't dolphins an intelligent species? Would they have to make use of metals and fossil fuels to advance their intelligence?
- yayr 6y agoas soon as they would get into using and advancing tools it would be inevitable at some point
- scotty79 6y agoYes. They may already have more raw brainpower than us but they live in environment where they don't have enough tool materials for sufficiently useful tools to evolve precise manipulation skills. They also can't use fire to command more than just energy their bodies produce. Hence no dolphin technical civilisation. Land apes have beaten them to it.
