[Dan] We have little chance of surviving as a species for even a few million years.
[Arlo] I used to ask my students if they believed mankind would be around in a hundred years. Nearly unanimous answer was yes. A thousand? About split. Five thousand? Nearly unanimous answer was no. Contrast this with certain dinosaur species, such as Apatosaurus, that spanned nearly 10 million years in existence. Honestly, do you think mankind will still be around 10 million years from now? One things for sure, landmarks like "the year 2000" will seem quaint to any people celebrating "the year 10,000,000".
