Which Species Will Take Over After Humans?




The British Professor speculates that the better candidate for filling an ecological niche in a post-human world is octopuses. He explained that octopuses are among the most intelligent, adaptable, and resourceful creatures on Earth.

“Their ability to solve complex problems, communicate with one another in flashes of color, manipulate objects, and even camouflage themselves with stunning precision suggests that, given the right environmental conditions, they could evolve into a civilization-building species following the extinction of humans.

Well they do have 9 brains and 3 hearts.

[Jasin]

Octi are too physically fragile.

My bet are the Delphi.

Well they do have 9 brains and 3 hearts.

Can such configuration be to evolutionary advantage?

Heart vs Mind - The Timeless Struggle

My heart says yes,
My head says no.
My head says stop,
My heart says go.

My heart says love,
My head says leave.
My heart says life,
My head says grief.

My heart says hope,
My head forget.
My heart says whoop,
My head regret.

My heart says all,
My head says one.
My heart says more,
My head says none.

My heart seeks heights,
My head craves peace.
My heart bids fight,
My head sighs sleep.

My heart says live,
My head says die.
My heart says live!
My head asks why?

With sharp crossed swords these two contend.
Each strives to gain the upper hand.
They slash and parry, cut and thrust.
Neither does the other trust.

And this fierce contest shall not end,
Until they’re both reduced to dust.
