AMAZON RAINFOREST

No comments


AMAZON RAINFOREST;
Human are far from being
the dominant species in the
Amazon rainforest.
If humans disappeared,what
animal would become dominant
instead?
There are two mistaken assumption here
The first is that humans are currently
the dominant animals.This is really only
true according to our own based perspective.
We are not the most numerous animals,nor
the most ubiquitous and we have not had
the biggest impact on the planet.
Maybe the Tittle for all these thing goes to
the bacteria.in fact ,plants and fungi are
all much more dominant than any members
of  the animals kingdom and will probably
outlast us >HUMAN'

And maybe the second msiconception is that
there must necessarily be one animal that rules
over all the others .For almost all of Earth's
history ,organisms have proliferated and
diversified in a turbulent swirl of species,
without obvious winners and losers.
Consider the part of the world where
humans do not have a strong presence,
today such as Amazon Rainforest or the deep
oceans.The absence of humans has not
created a power vacuum at the top ,because
a domniant species is not something
demanded by nature.

If every human left the planet tomrrow,
What would happen to  the World?
The world would resemble the Pliocene
epoch about three  million years ago,
Before humans emerged.
HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?
The oceans would see fish stock recover
while on land ,the vast herds of cattle and
sheep that were once farmed would roam
wild  and turn temperate latitudes into scrubby
grassland.Eventually perhaps one of the other
primate species would   evolve greater intelligence
and follow in our footsteps, but it is no means
 inevitable,
