Seban, this documentary was made to make us see how insignificant we are. Further more it shows to what great lengths we went to carve the world around us so it would suit our needs, and how fast nature recovers from us.
It's very humbling if you ask me...

spacebunny, better in what sense?

I'm not sure of who said it first, but a world without people would be like a room filled with all of the greatest works of art with no one to appreciate it.

Everyone was so afraid of the end of the world, the apocalypse, armageddon, whatever you want to call it. This is evidence that the world will be a better place once we are all gone...except for the starving puppies part.

Very cool and everything but I don't really see the point; since as far as I can work out this would only happen if all humans just disappeared without notice and NOW, rather than in the distant future (where the world would probably have been different).
So unless someone can explain the relevance of this program, I think it's a bit of a waste of time.

just me :)

That documentary is awsome !!! X3 !!!

I think they were really accurate with what may happen when human beings are no longer on earth... its also sad because you can see how much damage we've done to nature with our interference in it, so i just hope that things that this documentary showes us become a reality in the near future, for nature's sake ( really hope so =D )

An interesting look at what could be the future of Earth if some disaster from space, man, or nature took out the human race. Also an interesting look at how nature goes about reclaiming what humanity has attempted to cut off from the rest of the world.

However, there is one point which I find both incorrect and slightly irksome. That they would call Wolves a "terror" to Humanity when to the contrary Wolves for a large time were helpful to Humans and joined them in hunting which is where we got the domestic Dog. Many ancient peoples had great respect for the Wolf as a majestic or sacred creature right up to the Romans. A healthy Wolf (without rabies) is not even a threat to a Human and will not attack unless heavily provoked by a Human. The only way in which Wolves are "terrors" to Humans is that they will gladly eat our livestock if it is not properly kept away from them (which does not require killing the Wolves at this point) because it is such easy prey. Aside from that the Demonizing of the Wolf is quite inane and really needs to be put to an end.

wonder what was before us and how they died. if any of there stuff may be around. and, wouldnt the stuff we've left on the moon, wouldnt that stay in contact? to become a mysterious look at the next life that may see it?
