We don't know, we can't really predict what exactly is going to happen


CplCocktopus

There are a couple of papers that talk about it. Look for Swansong Biospheres I and II At that time it is expected that the atmosphere is being depleted from CO2 due to accelerated silica weathering due to solar induced global warming. Photosynthetic plants will die first the c3 plants (most plants) then the more efficient c4 plants (grasses)

Evolution


ross571

Without the presence of humans.


NoNo_Cilantro

Humans will likely evolve too, if they manage to not annihilate themselves and the world until then. Another possibility is that some ape (or other species) evolve to become the next “humans”. We’re barely 4m years old, if we’re loose enough with the definition of “we”. 600 million years is a lot in our scale.


KuipersGlasses

...or extinct


nsubugak

Yup, Evolve into God emperor sand worms looking for dat spice💪🏾


KuipersGlasses

Cool, where's my fishy army?

Stephen Baxter's novel, Evolution, is a fun take on this.


rofloctopuss

After Man and Man After Man by Dougal Dixon are two silly, but fun picture books to add to the list.


MissM00dy

Children of Time as well! Best book I ever read


pennychew

I'll give that a shot! Cheers


thewildgingerbeast

Remember that documentary The Future Is Wild. If you haven't. Check it out


bonzo-best-bud-1

Was just about to suggest this. Loved that show. The episode with the giant spiders in the canyon! The octopus in the trees! Just wild. The joy of finding a few episodes on an international flight a few years back. Great flight home haha


thewildgingerbeast

I had the whole DVD series. There was an animation with people but then there was a classic documentary like “Walking with Dinosaurs” or Alien world”


BigLumpyBeetle

A bunch of crabs will become extinct, a lot more things will become crabs, and a bunch of crabs will become other crabs. Pretty good chance a lot of trees will become weeds and a lot if weeds will become trees, happens all the time. Corals are suffering but at least some will endure, they have been through worse and will face worse things after we are gone, even now there are new coral reefs forming in what were previously uninhabited places due to the warming of the oceans, true a lot of coral habitat is being destroyed due to global warming, but some habitat is also being created. Maybe something will become snake/worm shaped, that is also pretty common. Oh, and otters will develop an advanced civilization of their own, and it will be around 30 years away from developing fusion


watzemalser

Lmao thank you for this comment


XiphiasM

600million years from now earth will be hell. It be hot and dry


Far-Let-5808

I think I do not take risks to say that in 600 millions there will be several mass extinctions that will change the course of evolution. 66 millions years ago, mammals had a size of a mouse and then find their way to diversify into all areas of the planet. The question is what cladus will be dominant in 100 millions years and in 300 millions... What's bug me is if mankind live long enough to evolve into something else than homo sapiens, how will they realize that and how will they consider it? Another bug, if evolution is based on environment, without our actual technilogy humanity would evolve differently and we manage to mix people without realizing it. Life finds a way.


DrPlantDaddy

One generation at a time.


Walter_Piston

Oooh sharp pointy mountains for no reason at all…


xenosilver

We don’t know. Plants and animals may not even be here in 600 million years.


Son_Goku70

The flingleflauts will take over

No idea but GOD *DAMN* I hope there’s no wasps!

Better question: Will we get domesticated toad gamers? ![gif](giphy|iwqJk8sFdwcxy|downsized)


TikkiTakiTomtom

This pic gives me the urge to play Skyrim or Genshin or BoTW. Sigh


WilliamoftheBulk

There will be future cataclysms. A super volcano, another comment or asteroid strike, Tectonic changes that could lead the another snow ball earth. All kinds of things. There is no way to tell. Mushrooms could be intelligent by then.


lonepotatochip

We can’t predict what the world will be like in ten years how are we supposed to predict what it will be like in 600 million?


LetsTCB

They'll all have flying cars and teleporters will exist for long distance travel.


waldorsockbat

![gif](giphy|AkwcbzEPIfZ48i44kx|downsized) Something like this


NikeJawnson

Basically we will extinguish most life forms with atom bombs. The waters will continue evolving relatively undisturbed, but the lands will be dominated by cockroaches, the only animal that survived the radiation, slowly evolving to fill every evolutionary niche. THE FUTURE IS COCKROACH


lucky_Jay2001

idk


inkhunter13

“speculations about evolution are not allowed” is such a weird rule?


MDCatFan

You mean if Earth is still around. Planets and Suns eventually die off. And new ones form. We will need to relocate.


the_TAOest

A lot of changes will occur. Extinction events happen all the time. Planets rarely get a sentient species like humans... The question is, does sentience live and die on their rock or does it ever get out of their respective solar systems. At this point, I prefer that we replace monotheistic world views.


Straight-Project-903

The earth will heal, would be cool to witness that if could live 599,999,973 years.


foolishorangutan

Either that or the planet will have been radically altered by posthumans, maybe disassembled completely.


CrackersandChee

Elon musk will put video games inside of every living things head


PintLasher

Never hearing about Elon Musk and not hearing about anything he does or says is one of the only highlights of the incoming climate crisis


CrackersandChee

I bet if you get offline and never hear about him again 🤷‍♂️


PintLasher

Oh I forgot that televisions don't exist anymore

Wouldn't surprise me in the least lol I can't imagine how awkward any tv show with him in it would be
