We cannot know for certain what will happen in the future. However, we can try to imagine some possible occurrences.
If we consider what has happened to past civilizations, it becomes apparent that most of them came to a rather sudden catastrophic end. The reason for this outcome is the inability of nations to avoid wars. Another reason might bedue to natural disasters of one kind or another. In the present, these possibilities still exist.
In the present time, a third condition exists. The inability to control the use of natural resources now still available.. Will the time run out for the continued exploitation of these resources? Also, at this time it has become necessary to find some way to control the population growth world-wide. Otherwise, it may be that our civilization might come to the same catastrophic end.
Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.
