The following article analyzes what the earth will be like in the distant future and a possible new future mass extinction that could be the end of all mammals, the work was carried out by researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
It is about the next new super continent that scientists have already named Pangea Ultima, in addition to the fact that the writer of the press release must not have had a good day and titled the article as “new research reveals that extreme heat probably annihilate humans and mammals in the distant future”, by the distant future he means 250 million years, obviously humans will not exist within 250 million years.
Humans as we know them will not exist, even if we do not become extinct and overcome all our problems and take a correct and positive path of development, evolution and technological advances will make us transform into another species, into something very different, hopefully something very different. Better, in fact, it is so long that our descendants may be something very difficult to understand right now.
To think that our species, Homo sapiens, is only 120,000 years old, the hominids from which we orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos descend, appeared between 8 and 6 million years ago. If we go back 250 million years to the past, we would see how the first mammals emerged. evolving from a type of reptile that is our common ancestor, so within 250 million years the animals that populate the earth may be very different from those we know today, but according to this research, all of them will face the problem that will arise when the current continents end up colliding and merging into a new super continent Pangea Ultima.
The Bristol researchers mention that this continent will act as an amplifier of climatic extremes, it will be a hot, dry land, much of the supercontinent will be a gigantic uninhabitable desert scorched by high temperatures and all this will become more complicated as the sun becomes increasingly brighter as millions of years pass, emitting more and more energy and warming the earth more.
The tectonic processes that occur in the Earth's crust and that give rise to the formation of the super continent will also produce more frequent volcanic eruptions that will produce enormous releases of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and warming the planet even more.
Another of the most curious statements of this study is that mammals could become extinct. According to researchers, mammals have evolved to survive cold temperatures, their tolerance to high temperatures has generally remained constant, this makes exposure to heat extreme and prolonged is much more difficult for mammals to overcome.
The researchers' calculation in that future states that in the super continent only between 8% and 16% of the land would be habitable for mammals, the result would be a mostly hostile environment, devoid of food and water sources for mammals, with widespread temperatures between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius and even higher daily temperature extremes.
This seems to be the panorama of the earth within 250 million years, a place where mammals will be endangered species and where most of the emerged land will be a huge desert. Imagine that worms evolve and emerge in that ocean of dunes. that would cover Pangea last sandworms like the Dune Movie.
