The Future?

 

In your final post in this class, I’d like to to share your perspective on the future of Homo sapiens.  We’ve covered millions of years of the history of our kind; what do you think the future holds?  Will we adapt to the planet that we are changing?  Will we slow down, alter, or redirect some of the changes that have begun under our watch?  Are you optimistic…or not?  Why?

• Please submit one original post of at least 250 words and a minimum of one thoughtful response post to another student for full credit. 
• While you may reference broader current issues, be sure to illustrate that you’ve reviewed the materials from the modules.

This is critical information for us to understand in the context of what is happening in our society
today. Please watch this brief video (2:40 min) to understand the origin of these infectious diseases:

And how bad did things get? Keep watching Part 2 (2:55 min) to see how human populations and
