No, frankly I have the feeeling that mankind will be reduced to a few lucky individuals, pockets protected from hordes of millions and millions ants in swarms with poisenous bites, killing every living thing in its path. Or a swarm of locust passing by, leaving your environment absent of life and crops.Do you feel, we shall always progressively be better in survival and fitness?
Humans seems to evolve mentally, but we are by no means the fastest, keenest, sensory superior over most our smaller distant cousins, whose whole evolution consisted of hundreds of millions of years of specialization, survival techniques in all areas, such as an instant launch of millions of individuals with but one single purpose (program) then to eat everything edible thing in sight, but did not result in an expasion of the brain in a very limited area which has specific functional abilities, but not capable of creating abstract concepts.
There is one clear piece of evidence, DDT and its derivatives had to be outlawed because they were more toxic to humans than to the insect it was supposed to kill. Our chemical defenses are more harmful to humans than to the pest insect, which apparently can learn to digest our poisons as food. Neat trick.
Just like humans, insects are invasive species, some day we'll meet in a serious situation, a battle for living space.......think of it!
