The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.

Hi

Hawking stated in one of his speech that <u>"Human race, even though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."</u>

  • What does that mean?

Hawking was simply implying towards the fact that all the intelligence and glory, a man is blessed with is not being utilized in the way it should be. This was because human conscious is still not awake to realize that his most of the efforts should be spent on enhancing the human race instead of destroying it.

For example: we see that from centuries humans are destroying our planet by creating green house effect, global warming, environmental pollution and many other such issues. They are not only staking the life and habitats of other organisms at risk but also their own.

We have created atomic and nuclear weapons to threat and destroy same specie. God had bestowed men with huge potential to enhance his survival but Hawking realize that human race is being stupid and not utilized this potential in its true essence.

hope it help!

1. How do disturbances (or catastrophes) affect ecological succession? Be as specific as possible. Right answers only.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

There are two types of ecological succession:

Primary succession:

Primary succession occurs in areas which were previously devoid of life. There were no organisms living in this area before. For example, lands after new glaciers or volcano  eruptions. Firstly, microorganisms begin to habitat this land, followed by plants like lichens, shrubs etc. Finally, complex life evolved from these.

Secondary succession:

Secondary succession arises in areas where life existed before but was destroyed due to natural circumstances like flood, fire etc. Small grasses inhabit this land first which are taken over by trees over  period of time.
