  1. yeah, it was nothing, then it was the fish, then the reptillians, then the mammals(incl. humans) then it will be the time of the insects, wouldnt it be cool if they get realyrealyrealy big
    Insects being enormous is an impossibilty. They would collapse under their own weight because of their exoskeleton system.
    Let's take this scenario (which I think is disturbingly likely to happen):

     

    Nuclear war has ended. Just about every continent is a wasteland' date=' mostly with radiation and toxic levels nearly unbearable to homo sapiens species. All mammals including humans become extinct within about 10 years or so.

     

    The interesting part comes first: Now that the sections in the food chain and ecosystem where humans and mammals used to be is empty, a new species will most likely take it over within a couple of hundred million years. But which species will natural selection choose to be the next "dominant" species? Highly radioactivity withstanding insects? Bacteria will start to evolve to something more? Just something to think about. :)[/quote'] I don't think it would take hundreds of millions of years for a new dominent species. Example:After the extinction of the dinosaurs and other major reptiles, mammels and birds took the jump for evolution.
