The Prospects of Future Evolution Following Mass Extinction Events
Abstract Earth's history is marked by a series of mass extinction events that drastically reshaped the trajectory of life. With growing evidence of an ongoing anthropogenic extinction, questions arise regarding the potential for life to recover and evolve anew. This paper explores the likelihood of future mass extinctions, the mechanisms of biological recovery and evolution, and projections of what future lifeforms might emerge. Drawing upon paleontological records, evolutionary theory, and speculative biology, this paper offers a structured view of Earth's potential biological futures.
