There will never be peace, therefore this civilisation will not survive

    After we have all been wiped out, what will the next civilisation look like?

    Roughly the same. It's a cycle. Look at the Romans and look at us. It happens time and time again.

    Yes, but that is a cycle of the same civilisation. I was talking about the post-Homo Erectus civilisation.

    Homo-erectus is more a species than a civilisation is it not? If you're asking what the world will return to without humans involved altogether....well I think that's pretty self explanatory, don't you?

    well the 1st civilization was dinosaurs then neanderthals and then humans.. so maybe like the next generation will be some strange humanoid type lizard monky thing..

    but i dont beleive the world is ending. i beleive we are in a time of transiton and when the planets align we will be in the age of aquarius a new age of enlightenment for mankind and the fall of the material world... but youre right that will probably cause mass confusion and chaos. thats too bad

    Our civilization will never end, unless our demise is caused by non-human means.

    The richest and most powerful people literally have shelters beneath mountains, and there is most likely procautions in place incase of a world ending war to keep certain people safe.

    I've heard many times that we are the only creatures with a serious forethinking ability. Most animals have instinct and experience to pull from, but can't sit around and ponder the direction life is heading, etc etc.

    That being said, barring a similar life form taking place of our presence, Earth will start to rid itself, slowly but surely, of all of our structures and begin to clean up the pollution mess we've made. Things will resort back to a much more natural state and the result will be an increased population of plant and animal matter. Animals will continue to develop and evolve as ice melts and re-freezes and land masses shift.

    Eventually something else of higher intelligence will probably come along, and the cycle will be complete - and restarted.

    i think animals are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. there is a lot to be said about instinct.. animals can sense earthquakes and shit before they hit.. there are species that have been around since long before humans and will probably be around long after..

    Alot depends on the way we self-eradicate. If the process renders the ecosystem incapable of supporting life then there will be no further civilization.

    The masses will die, but the human race will not be extinct because of human action. Certain humans would live, and thus civilization would rebuild.

    The whole atmospheric bit has been to much hype and not fact. Even lack of resources is not enough to end civilization, might alter it into an unbearable shithole though.

    Ever see the movie Soylent Green?
