I always have a fantasy that a plague would wipe all of us humans off the face of the earth snd an intelligent family oriented Species like the Wolf would take over and save the planet. Most humans suck!

It's amazing how many of my readers arrive already agreeing with me on things like this. I am constantly on about the failed evolutionary experiment in biological intelligence that can foresee the results of its actions and modify its behavior to arrive at a positive outcome.

It is equally good, TC, that we maintain our independence.

I have often thought the same thing. After humans are gone, the earth reverts to the wild and in a few centuries all traces of us will vanish into the greenery

There was a program a few years ago, I think it was called "After Man," and it was about that very topic, what the world would be like after our exctinction. I remember one episode showed how it would take less than a century to erase virtually all evidence of our existence, outside of massive physical projects like dams, but even those would be broken by lack of maintenance, mere "large ruins".
