""Say a Homo sapiens-specific virus – natural or diabolically nano-engineered – picks us off but leaves everything else intact. How would the rest of nature respond if it were suddenly relieved of the relentless pressures we heap on it and our fellow organisms?" – The World Without Us, Alan Weisman. Alan Weisman's grand thought experiment, The World Without Us, challenges us to imagine a world in which humans are no longer the dominant force. Fittingly, the elaborate scenarios and extensively researched extrapolations that Weisman posits in his 2007 book served as a conceptual reference point for the world depicted in The Last of Us…."

I think the first thing that would happen is that we would stop caring. |

Drive through some parts of Detroit. Nature is reclaiming it now! |

Didn't The History Channel have a tv series about this? |

See if you can find a DVD or screening of Life After People link One of the most fascinating TV shows I have watched in years. I would love to see an update based on the current world issue and the results of the short hiatus to the damage we cause and extrapolate the results to a gradual fall of mankind. |

Right -- Life After People. That was The History Channel show. |

I would be good for just about everything else – the planet, flora & fauna. |

I can't say that I truly care to contemplate the demise/extinction of our own species….but as to the topic? There would be no one to enjoy this cool wargaming hobby, among many other tragedies. :D I would rather look forward to humanity evolving past wrecking our shared environment and ourselves. Then we could enjoy life and our hobbies while musing on how foolish and short-sighted we used to be.
One can hope, right? :) |

If all humans were gone, that would just leave myself and two other Tralfamadoreans sent here to report on Earth's activities. We would clean out the ground beef inventory left at any local Taco Bells and return to Tralfamadore with as many pachinko machines as we can fit in the ship. |
