“What?”
“Almost going extinct.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, about a million years ago.”
“What happened?”
“Climate change wiped out about 99% of all early humans. And the population stayed that small for more than 100,000 years.”
“What brought it back?”
“Nobody knows.”
“How many of us are there now?”
“Who knows? Maybe a few thousand.”
“And climate change is killing us off again.”
“Yeah, but this time, it’s our fault.”
“Think we’ll bounce back this time?”
“Probably not.”
“Well, if we don’t, maybe some new life form will take our place.”
“Hope it’s more intelligent.”
