This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

i remember an old article that said DNA shows that all current humans can be traced back to 7 women during the ice age.

There were probably more around at the time, all the other bloodlines just died off.
