What's more, the explosion of human population over the last few millenia has drastically reduced the population of most other life forms (above the level of bacteria etc.). There is no reason to believe that this trend will reverse. We have selected a very small number of species to cultivate for our uses: some cereals and other food plants, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, some fish species, pine trees, eucalypts. Other species are casually driven to extinction. Whether or not this reduction in the diversity of life on the planet is a bad thing may be an aesthetic judgement. For some religious loonies, it is simply carrying out the biblical injunction to go forth and multiply. For these nutters, the more human beings the better - unless they are not Christians, of course, in which case they are a threat until converted or eliminated. My position? I'd prefer a world with fewer humans (especially religious nutters) and more of the other life forms.
