If humanity goes extinct, how many years will it take for the earth to erase the traces of the exist

At present, it can be known that the oldest biological fossils come from nearly 4 billion years ago, although the history of human civilization is only about 10,000 years, but the construction of a huge human country, the traces of human existence are basically impossible to be completely erased, and the statement of prehistoric civilization is the same, if it exists, there will be evidence. Erasing all traces of humanity probably requires the Earth**. Primitive life 3.8 billion years ago can leave traces on the earth, and even if human beings are extinct, there will always be a trace left.

In the history of the earth for billions of years, countless organisms appeared and eventually disappeared. But humans have discovered a large number of biological remains so far, starting from 3.8 billion years ago. Although the formation of fossils is difficult, there are always very few fossils left because of the quantitative basis.

At present, human beings have not yet been able to penetrate the earth's crust, and there are no large pits of more than 5,000 meters dug on the earth, but from the results of the ultra-deep drilling crater in Kola, Russia, it seems that there are abundant animal and plant fossils underground. Because of the depth of the formation, human beings cannot do large-scale development and exploration.

It is difficult to eliminate the traces of the existence of all living things by relying on the movement of the earth's crust, and perhaps only the event that can burn through the earth's crust occurs, and all organic matter is carbonized and burned into gas by high temperature. And such an event unless the Earth is knocked into pieces by a huge celestial body and dissipates in the universe, and the Sun evolves into a red giant star that scorches the surface of the Earth at high temperatures. At that time, the earth will not be suitable for life, and it will be difficult for foreign civilizations to find traces.

Not to mention the number of human beings, the total number of historical and existing populations must be at least tens of billions, plus the large number of civilization appendages created by human civilization, the quantitative base is very huge, and the possibility of all being erased is extremely small. There is also a huge evidence about prehistoric civilizations, and that is the evolution of living things. Evolution is not the same as "progress", the evolution of living beings may be infinite, but precisely because evolution may be unlimited, then the process of evolving from small bugs in the ocean all the way to humans is destined to be impossible to replicate, and IQ is only a way to adapt to the environment, not all organisms develop in this direction in natural selection.

It would take at least 10,000 years to completely erase all traces of human beings, because the reinforced concrete forests are now very strong.

If human beings become extinct, it will take at least 5,000 years for the earth to erase the traces of human civilization, because many civilizations made by humans are difficult to erase, such as buildings, etc., which will take a certain amount of time.

I think it will take tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years to erase our human civilization, after all, there are a lot of human beings.

Humans have been on Earth for 6 million years.

In the 4.6 billion years since the birth of the earth, human beings have been the only highly intelligent civilization on the earth. Humans began to evolve 6 million years ago (6 million-year-old proto-humans were discovered in 2000), and civilization appeared 1 million years ago. Dinosaurs have been on Earth for 160 million years.

Humans have been on Earth for less than a fraction of the time when dinosaurs dominated the planet.

Kenya, Africa, 2000.

Fossils of Proto-Homini (Tügen) were found 6 million years ago in Mt. Tugen, so humans appeared in the Cambrian period more than 6 million years ago.

Homo sapiens began to evolve 200,000 years ago. It has only been 60 million years since humans created writing, and less than 300 years have passed since the rapid development of technology such as electricity.

About 80 million years ago, primates, including humans.

The common ancestor, the Wu giant-headed beast, lived in the same era as the dinosaurs. It wasn't until 60 million years ago that Australopithecus began to appear. More than 50 million years ago, primates differentiated from lower primates, protomonkeys, to higher primates.

33 million 24 million years ago, apes arose from the monkeys of the Old World.

300 million years. There are footprints from 300 million years ago. It's just that 300 million years of human experience is too much, resulting in a few interruptions in the middle of 300 million years, Darwinian evolution began to evolve 3 billion years ago, or even 4 billion years ago, until 300 million years ago to evolve into high-IQ humans, not from millions of years.

Human footprints, things used by human beings, buildings, these traces will still remain on the earth.

Some of our products and technologies, as well as traces of our survival, will be useful evidence for future generations to study us long after.

Because of their extremely long lifespan, these nuclear wastes are likely to continue to react for billions of years after humans disappear.
