If humans suddenly became extinct*, which species would eventually evolve to become the “dominate” species?

Possibilities…

- One of the other hominids
- A large land animal (elephant, bear, rhino…)
- One of the corvids (raven, crow, blue jay, magpie…)
- One of the parrots
- A cetacean
- Another sea animal (octopus, crab...)
- Small mammal with fingers (mouse, squirrel, raccoon, koala…)
- Eusocial insect
- Someone else…

(* assuming a species-specific extinction for humans like a disease or infertility, not a mass extinction event like an asteroid or gamma ray burst)

Take a leaf out of Sophia's book on healthy eating and snack on some lettuce 🥗

While orangutans are mainly frugivores, with fruit making up a large portion of their diet, they also enjoy nuts, leaves, and insects!

Hey, if you're a journalist, and you're interested in learning more about how to cover environmental news topics, I'm hosting quite a few webinars this year for @mongabay on how to do just that.

We broadcast these live, and will be doing our next one on both Twitter and YouTube. This one is on how to cover . If you cover great apes in any capacity you'll want to tune in.

Date: March 2nd. 11am EST

RSVP here: forms.gle/C4Cbb1rtEVcFyFYJ6
