If humanity disappears, will a new advanced civilization emerge?

It is very likely, because human beings evolved through low-level civilizations, and it is very likely that the current low-level creatures will evolve into high-level creatures in a few hundred million years.

If human beings disappear, I think it is only a matter of time before a new advanced civilization appears, but in fact, the appearance of human beings in the life of the universe is actually only a short moment, even if human beings do not disappear, it is very likely that there will be more advanced civilizations at the same time, and it is difficult for us to feel it.

Since the beginning of the last century, scientists have been constantly searching for extraterrestrial civilizations in the universe, and no evidence of the existence of extraterrestrials has been found until today, but even so, mankind has never given up.

Well, if in the future humanity is in a certain star system. Finding that there is a lower civilization on a planet than humans, and that humans can still get there, what do you think humans will do, invade, plunder, or will they live in harmony with this lower civilization in the same way that the whole world lives in harmony with them?

Speaking of which, many friends may say that this question is too good, and the answer is impossible to make friends.

Because our science and technology far surpass them, the probability of living in peace with them is very low, and the current development speed of various countries is very fast, so the consumption of many non-renewable resources on the earth is increasing, and our earth may really be unsuitable for human habitation in hundreds of millions of years.

Because the resources of a planet are limited, if human beings want to continue civilization, they must leave the star system where they are located and go to the universe to find and colonize planets with resources. Once a planet with a lower civilization than human beings is discovered, it will inevitably go for the purpose of colonizing or plundering resources. Just like when Columbus discovered the New World, European colonists treated Indians with cruelty.

Even if it won't wipe out all these low-level civilizations, it will at least become the ruler of this planet.

Just like we humans currently keep some animals in zoos, almost as much as owners and livestock. Other than that, what else do you think will happen?

It takes at least millions of years for a species to evolve, but humans can still discover the evolutionary process of some species. For example, during the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom, the black smoke of the new factories was covered with eucalyptus, allowing the originally white birch plum family to evolve rapidly. White is easily exposed to the black background, and the black hides itself and has a higher probability of survival, so the genetic advantage of birch plums with black genes is greater.

Originally, the number of this black birch plum was small, but they were more conducive to survival in the new environment, so this genetic trait was passed on to the next generation, and the number of black birch plum was gradually incorporated into the mainstream.

But at a time when Darwin had just published his theory of evolution, Darwin was not as beautiful as he is now. At the time, he was slammed by certain Guardians. According to the doctrine of evolution, the ancestors of human beings were not the spirit of God, but animals from nature.

This statement is a fact that many people cannot accept. Some of those who worked to preserve "human purity" blamed Darwin and even said that he was a "descendant of monkeys".

But Darwin did not say that humans are "descendants of monkeys". It is a misreading of the theory of evolution. Much has been written about the origin of humanity, and there is no longer any boredom here.

In conclusion, it is a widely accepted scientific fact that humans originated from animals in nature. When we were in school, my teacher also told me that humans are "higher animals". Obviously, humans can't get out of the quagmire with animals.

That is, the relationship between humans and animals has long been determined. That is, there are mammals that are the ancestors of humans. Dinosaurs and humans share a common ancestor (in fact, all species on Earth have a common ancestor).

About 500 million years ago, the Cambrian species was large**, and marine life erupted**.

After the sea creatures landed on land, they evolved into reptiles, reptiles gradually rose, and many branches evolved. None of the countless branches could cover the sky with one hand. About 100 million years ago, the 2 million-year-old rainstorm – the Kanigi Flood – became an important dividing line in the evolutionary history of Earth's species.

At that time, the earth's continents were not separated, they were all gathered together. Volcanoes on the Earth's surface erupt frequently, with high temperatures and severe desertification on the surface. Species need to evolve in the direction of drought tolerance.

As the temperature rises, seawater evaporates and accumulates in the atmosphere, hitting both marine and terrestrial life hard. Intense volcanic eruptions lasted for 5 million years.

Before human beings, there was no more advanced earth civilization than human beings, for example, if there really existed earth civilization, it would not die out from this, so human beings are undoubtedly the only social civilization that has appeared on the earth.

From lower organisms to higher animals, cells are replicated under the control of genes, but in the process of replication, some gene mutations produce wrong results, good results are continued, and bad results are eliminated. The result of such a hundred billion errors has given rise to countless living systems. Among them is the freak of us humans (for the whole biological system).

The reason why only human beings have evolved wisdom is that I personally think that it is like many monkeys playing the piano, of which 100 billion are playing the piano indiscriminately, but purely by chance they happened to play a Beethoven's song"March of Life"。Thus human beings have appeared, and they are unprecedented, unique, and incomparable.

It may be because the time, place and people have not reached it, and there is a lack of a meeting point, so there is no high-level civilization.

Because the development process of animals is different, people are more intelligent and develop faster.

It is because in the process of development, some of the other branches have perished, and only human beings continue to live.

With the continuous development of human science and technology, human beings have also entered space, and the vast universe and various galaxies have fascinated countless scientists. Since human beings entered space, the exploration of extraterrestrial life has never stopped, and most people have always believed that there are creatures on other planets, but so far no extraterrestrial creatures have been found.

Humans have been exploring the universe for many years, but they still haven't gone out of the solar system, but out of curiosity about extraterrestrial life, scientists have also studied the major planets in the solar system. One of the more controversial planets in the entire solar system is Titan, which scientists believe is the most likely planet for life, because Titan contains carbon-oxides, which are inevitable conditions for the emergence of life. But so far, there is no evidence that life actually existed on Titan, so scientists can only make hypotheses.

Let's hypothesize that if life does exist on Titan, it will be something that will excite the whole world, because this will be the first time that extraterrestrial life has been discovered. But after the ecstasy, we need to look at the question calmly, whether the life we have discovered is a higher creature than us, or a lower civilization than ours. According to Liu Cixin's law of the dark forest, if you reveal your location, you will be destroyed by other creatures.

If the alien creatures we find are more advanced life than our human civilization, then what will they do with humans? What do you think of the Earth? Although we humans do not yet have the ability to travel through the universe at will, human beings think that the resources in the universe belong to human beings, what a terrible idea!

If these advanced civilizations invade the earth, it will be a disaster that we can hardly imagine, just like the Europeans discovered the American continent, and the Indians may be our fate, even worse than that.

If the creatures we find are unintelligent beings, then we don't have to worry about it, humans can slowly study them, and we don't have to worry about whether they will pose a threat to us, and humans will even keep them in zoos like animals. But if they discover that extraterrestrial life is intelligent, but the civilization is lower than ours, and they find that the civilization of the earth is more powerful, and then desperately strengthen themselves, and even surpass the civilization of the earth in a short period of time, the result is also terrible.

In general, whether it is the discovery of a lower civilization or the discovery of a higher civilization, it will be a terrible thing once the earth is exposed to the eyes of other civilizations. We can't be sure of the strength of the other party, so we don't know what the outcome will be, so the search for extraterrestrial life is like a gamble with the earth as a bet, and we can only quietly wait for who wins and who loses in this game.

If we encounter a high-level civilization, we can only seek peaceful coexistence, or we may be directly destroyed by the high-level civilization. When encountering low-level civilizations, we should make progress together.
