animals arose and went extinct before we were here, and they will continue to arise and go extinct long after we are gone.
our effect on the earth is still a matter of debate- regardless of what certain wanna be ecological warrior former politicians and celebrities might say about it.
in the overall scheme of things, we are nothing. if we get out of hand, nature's immune system will find a way to eliminate us, and life on earth will go on until the sun starts to boil the atmosphere and oceans away.
so if you want to go on living your life thinking that you are a part of a species that is doing more harm than good, then have at it. but that's a pretty negative way of looking at things, don't you think?
