As a species, we've somehow survived large and small ice ages, genetic bottlenecks, plagues, world wars and all manner of natural disasters, but I sometimes wonder if we'll survive our own ingenuity.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als Spezies haben wir große und kleine Eiszeiten, genetische Engpässe, Seuchen, Weltkriege und alle Arten von Naturkatastrophen irgendwie überlebt, aber ich frage mich manchmal, ob wir unseren eigenen Einfallsreichtum überleben werden.
