Planet Earth without humans - space-time - 08-25-2014
Suppose that we, humans, never existed as a species; what would life on Earth look like? what species would be most likely to develop a civilization as advanced as ours? what are your thoughts on this?

Earth has had over 4 billion years and the closest anyone has come is termites and lemurs.

too much sci-fi... I don't think there is any evidence to suggest that we muscled out other species that might have gone on to create vast civilizations. Or any civilizations... but who knows?

There would probably be Neanderthals in our place right now, just maybe a little less advanced.

Very interesting non-fiction book about what the earth would be like if humans suddenly ceased to exist:

The dodo might exist still rather than just on internet keyboards

If humans didn't exist, cats would have had to invent us.
