What If Humans Suddenly Disappeared?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2022
- What if humanity suddenly vanished from the Earth? Would our bustling cities, once full of life, become sprawling, metropolitan ghost towns? Would our highways, the crowded thoroughfares of a busy civilization, lay desolate and bare? If humanity suddenly disappeared, how would the Earth change in our absence? What would become of our planet a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years in the future?

Extra Nice
Just set a minimum off 10 minutes, this is going to far now.
Next idea: what if population increased by 10x

Does anybody know the name of the song at 4:46 please
“We may only be remembered as a species, that poisoned the earth”. Damn, hits hard ..
ye, it's also bs. we have many places set up to survive eternity.

There is a whole 2 season series called "Life after people" about this question from around 10 years ago. And the topic still hasn't gotten old.
In fact it just got relevant again
Kurgezacht has made a video about an similar topic, you should check it out!
@@edwinstam2603 so did Ted-Ed apparently this topic is evergreen ruclips.net/video/v6Agqm4K7Ok/видео.html
Sounds like that tv show Life after people.
@@koharumi1
Exactly that one. It's one of my favourite.💛
This is kinda refreshing, compared to how others would portray the future without humans, they'd used cinematic music that only made the videos seem tense and frightening. While this is a really great video with an awesome direction, tense when needed and being calm or hopeful when needed. Outstanding Video!
Thanks Alex :)
Exactly!
there was also the aftermath documentary series and those are really good. from national geographic off course.
1. aftermath when the earth stops spinning.
2. aftermath the red giant (thats when the sun dies and swallows the planets near it)
3. Aftermath population zero a world without humans. (just like this videos topic)
4. aftermath world without oil what will happen to our world if it disappeared.
5. aftermath population overload what happens when the world's population doubled.
i must say that they are really good. and great video btw
This is always my favorite topic after dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures: what would happen when all of humanity disappears? What would the animals be like? What would the world look like? Always the best topic. Always surprised when there's not an evolutionary jump
Love would no longer exist! Without humans this planet is a wild cruel cut throat place where only the strong could survive. Most beings are only instinctual- after food, water, sex and territory, very reactive behavior of predator vrs prey.
Unfortunately some species that rely on human captivity may go extinct, however many species will recover from no humans hunting them.
We don't really hunt as much anymore as we do farm
Poodles for sure will go extinct. German Shepard’s will become apex pack hunters of suburban areas. Wolves will favor natural environments, while wolves will hunt grazers & small life that favor the protection an urban environment grants.
@@gravoc857 Are you sure? Poodles were originally bred as hunting dogs, and anyone who had ever had a paper round will tell you how savage a small dog can be!
@@gravoc857 I‘m sure poodles would be also in packs hunting small insects to big rats. I’d imagine that if a poodle or any other small dog encountered a large dog like a pitbull, a husky or a German shepherd then it would probably end in
the smaller dog getting killed.
@@gravoc857 “Poodles” and “German Shepherds” will no longer exist. Dogs aren’t going to exclusively breed within their own breeds without humans around. Purebreds will very quickly die out and only mutts will remain.
i've seen a documentary about this before from like 2015, but it's interesting to see the different way things can go depending on how advanced our species is/was at the moment this kind of scenario happens
Was it called life after people?
@@koharumi1 i don't remember exactly, i'd have to look it up again, i do remember that it was a free documentary on youtube
I remember one like this, but it was way before 2015 or RUclips.
Life After People was my favourite TV show as a kid.
@@koharumi1 found it

This gave me the idea that we need a game/movie where humanity goes extinct suddenly and after thousands of years another species from out current present gets intelligent enough to study our fossils while living among our ruins, this would be absolutely wild.
Edit
I literally posted this right before he said the same thing could happen 💀
This is great idea
Man, I'll love that game.
Horizon Zero Dawn
@@malinranwala416 great fking game and amazing storytelling
There was already a game that did this, think was either just "Gaia" or "Gaia Online", where could make a character as various animal-humanoids or even a golem/robot construct.
This channel brings me back to the early days of speculative history and how small it really makes me feel. Thank you for reviving that legacy!
Ridddle was so good in those early days
Solo Leveling!
@@warpdrive9229 You know it
I love how this channel is asking and answering the real questions
The content just keeps getting better and better.
If no one is around to be unnerved by the silence, is it still unnerving?
You’re asking the real questions
I guess so
The dogs and cats will be the 1st to know that the world has gone quiet
The quality of the videos as well as the questions asked are outstanding
I kinda wanna see a series built on this idea with sentient birds taking over Earth and trying to address some of the issues we left behind
From all l know theres no series based on this exact idea but there is one made in 2015 about what would happen if we disappeared which starts of with the first 10 years 20 years 100 years 1000 years and on. Dont know if that was helpfull but whatever
is this a kurzgegast reference?
What if 50% of humanity vanished? Then it would be perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Ok Thanos
@@AirQuotes Koranos... Thanos... I see a resemblance 🤔
@@KillerTacos54 coincidence?! I think not.
Thanos 😂😂
not much things changed if human do not change ways of living
just remember there was less than a billion of human just 2 centuries ago
If humans disappeared then no more pizza... that just simply won't do.
No need for Pizza coz you're also gone.
@@agentsmith1235 username checks out
If we disappeared, then I suspect cats would eventually take over the planet, invent technology, and create a cat utopia in which robots constantly pet them and cleaned litter boxes.
catopia :)
Awwwww
Nope. Dogs will rule. 💪
@@batman_2004 I highly doubt that.
cats will discover genetic engineering and will bring extinct species like humans back to be pet by them again
“What if humans suddenly disappear?”
- Earth begins to smile
We will have to look for other species to possess.
Good riddance!😄😄😄😄
6:35 one reason why incinerators should be used.
Air filters are then used to capture the fine particles
Glad to say I’ve been here since 100k, that’ll be a bragging right when this channel is at 10 million♥️🤝
I’m glad to be a part of history. This channel will have millions of subscribers one day.
I always love getting the notification that Koranos posted a new video!!!!
I did enjoy the Life After People series, which also explores our disappearance.
On the other hand, I've always wondered what if the reverse happened? Instead of humans vanishing, what if all human-made objects vanished? Everything from the simplest wooden spears to skyscrapers.
Pretty sure we'd lose a bunch of people, because anyone on or above the second story of buildings would be screwed. But aside from that, would we ever be able to re-industrialize, or would we be stuck at a much lower technological level?
We built it up from nothing once, so we'd do so again. A lot of basic discoveries (fire, soap, etc) can be reproduced with naturally occurring substances. The biggest obstacle in the long term would be that most of the easily accessible fossil fuels have been depleted.
The climate change and human effect on nature is a topic similar to cockroaches. No matter how many times it gets beaten to the ground somehow it comes back up and it's been doing it for over 10 years.
@@Sensayuma And we've sown nothing that hasn't been here since the earth's creation. Gasses, plastic, electronics, they will all return to the building blocks they came from. Pretty high and mighty of us to think we could permanently destroy earth, huh? She could shake us off like fleas.
It hasn't been getting "beaten to the ground", though. It's been getting reinforced by reports that gather together dozens/hundreds of studies from thousands of scientists across over a hundred different countries. Should people trust that, or random armchair scientists that found a megaphone on the floor?
@JimiJenkins As for you, the problem is what @Ahmed Elgmati said is that YOU (as in humans) reap what you sow. The concern isn't whether Earth will still be livable by something, it's whether it will remain livable by humans.
You can say "well, volcanoes have always been around" but what do you think happens when have volcanoes + humans? We know what the temperature of Earth was in the past and the amounts of the various gasses it had in its atmosphere at the time. We know that the carbon was eventually pulled down and into the ground. What do you think happens when you move it back from the ground and into the atmosphere?
@@Vaeldarg I was merely venting at the fact that this is pointless, even if 100 million people decide to be very eco friendly, compared to the mass usage of resources it still wouldn't be enough. So might as well give it up and dig up everything and look for more prospect's in space. In my personal opinion from a races perspective being too eco friendly at the beginning of our civilization will hinder our progress. We can think about repairing/terraforming Earth after we have the entire solar system under control. It's very similar, how after winter when the garden dies off, in next spring the garden becomes full of life with proper care.
@@etherealtranslationtm You assume there is any real prospect of expanding beyond this planet in any meaningful way before Earth's ecosystem collapses.
We are still struggling with the practically of sending humans Mars. Then it'll take more time to build any kind of permanent settlement, and even then I don't see it becoming entirely self sufficient without some significant technological advancements that might not be possible.
Reality is that the sci-fi ideas of traveling to other planets or building space colonies are a huge leap from our current capabilities.
@@etherealtranslationtm Well, that's convenient. If we're doomed, I don't need to make any effort! If only every conservationist and everyone working in renewable energy and environmental protection could realise that....
These videos are so perfect maaaaan i wish they were longer
Sorry didn’t see this got uploaded. Another amazing video!!
Absolutely stunning! You earned a subscriber
Hi there! This topic is certainly intriguing and interesting. The consequences discussed are crucial and never thought of (at least by my standards 😅 ) and I really appreciate the effort that was made by your team to make this fabulous video. The animation and narration are groundbreaking...
I have a suggestion. And I am emphasizing that this is just my notion and I might be totally wrong but still, I think the reason why your videos aren't getting the views and likes they deserve, is because most of your topics like this one already have a lot of videos on them, I mean it is not a new surprising topic, most of us have already researched that and have seen tons of videos on it and read about its consequences. Therefore, I suggest that you try to find topics on which there isn't much material about or are not discussed that much.
Nice video! ❤
THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE PPL IMMEDIATELY, IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
liked and subbed, love this channel
I disagree. "We may only be remembered as a species that poisoned the earth". You forget to mention our achievement in space by seeing space trash. And when a new species arise after human extinction, they also affect the earth ecology.
This channel deserves so much more recognition, and it will come. Keep up the good work
Love the work you all do!
Stunning. Always in awe of you.
Thanks Sara :)
I hopw your channel will continue to climb up and become more popular don't stop and change the way you make videos youre videos are unique stylish and satisfying to watch great to watch before you sleep!!
Another fantastic video!
Melancholy but relaxing at the same time.
Because melancholy IS relaxing.
Love your educational videos that makes me think and analyze the possibilities about “Life” and how it will affect my own short existence on Earth. 😀🥰
Thank you for your videos 🙏🏻wishing you the best 🔥 you will be famous in no time 🙌🏻
What would happen if humans disappeared?
It would be like that show "Life after people".
This animation style paired with that Voice, it just makes one want to learn and keep watching! ❤️
that is what I needed!
I am absolutely in love with this channel.
Ya’ll’s videos are really well made… it’s a wonder RUclips doesn’t promote them
Amazing video as always
Keep posting videos!
Very well done from Koranos, as usual
When I was a child I dreamt about being in this scenario with 2 friends, discover the world and do everything we want forever... and even after this video it would be still a totally cool thing to experience. This didn't destroyed my child fantasy ;)
Really dope video, keep it up Koranos :D
I recommend the short story “There will come soft rains” it is about humanity disappearing, I think it is very powerful
The first 20 seconds are like a dream come true.
Watching Koranos's videos is like a mind therapy.
Great video!
You and kurzgesagt are the best youtube channels
I have thought about this so often since watching the anime Dr. Stone and I thank you for answering my questions
This channel is so goddam cool.
Great video really enjoyed it! Just one thing that poped to mind while you where talking about the excess CO2. The rapid and massive increase in plant growth due to the overabundance of carbon. We can see today the larger growth rings on tree because of it. In the end most plants are just carbon. To be fair animals as well but they don't grow bigger because of higher atmospheric piles of carbon. Not meaning this as any criticism, just came to mind. Keep it up! Great stuff!!
You can look at this in very brief in the first episode of Dr.STONE. but since this is not the main part of the series, it’ll be very very brief and just the overview
Shows how we are dependent on earth and not vice versa...humbling video
It's not humbling it's obvious, like no shit were dependent on earth we bloody live here. This was a very stupid comment, please don't comment such garbage ever again
The background music really beautiful
Absolutely brillant and beautiful well done
"What if humanity suddenly vanished from the earth?"
Me: finally peace at last
Planes trains and automobiles took me back to the good old Top Gear days
What if this already happened? And we are the species which evolved and can't see any signs of those who perished?
that's scary to think about
Fun fact there was a series called life after people
The earth would give a sigh of relief.
Oh hey another channel with kurgersat level quality :D
Y’all even took the time to put the flags in, amazing
Finally i've been waiting for another vid of koranos for like "3 MONTHS"
Awesome video
Wonderful video.
Is this a re-upload? I swear I watched this years ago... but your channel says it was created in 2020. Did you have an old channel?
Nope
Just imagining about this scenario gives me anxiety.
can i find the music on spotify?
I'd love to witness this
Koranos never disappoints!
pretty dark ending there. I loved it.
Congrats for 200000 subs
You're Not Alone Watching This Masterpeace in 2022
Thanks Koranos 🙏🏼
My favorite video game is a post apocalyptic survival game with humanoid monsters that were human like players once… this will probably be quite useful as I continue to write stories within that games universe. What can I say? I’m addicted by now.
Once a Minecrafter always a minecrafter
at 7:57 in the video thats us right now uncovering relics from the past and the story repeats itself once more but with a different spices
Do you do your own animations?
I don't know. I feel it would be pretty loud with a lot of alarms and sensors going off for a while initially.
Glorious!
Instead of war we just need monument competitions
Thanos: Now THAT looks really nice.
Sometimes I wonder if this scenario has happened before.
same. wonder how long it takes , for all stuff to disapear , like all tech we made, milions of years anyone will find any remnants, we never found anything
It happened in Noah's time didn’t it?
The idea of no Planes Trains and Automobiles saddens me... John Candy was great in that one.
The nuclear plant thing for me has always been my main problem with the energy source. It takes 6 months to decommission one, maybe years, and one thing about things going sideways globally, is that it will likely be really quick,
The last sentence... exactly how it is
Very interesting video, perhaps it would be better this way...
i was tricked into thinking this was a kurzgesagt video. why must you torture me with your amazing videos, koranos
This piece reminds me of a Doco called - LIFE AFTER PEOPLE...
i watched life after people in 2018, got so obsessed with it
A fitting legacy for humanity
I'm just glad that eventually after we vanish, Earth and nature will heal and start anew.🤞
He came back, when we needed him the most.
Stop, you're gonna make me have a Thanos moment
amazingly well made, but I do mind, Super Volcanoes like Yellowstone are said to be nearing the end of their cycle of course this has a rough estimate of that it will happen maybe 5000 years from now when it will blow. If such events would happen. Which tend to happen more often, wouldn't all of our civilization remnants and artifacts just be utterly destroyed and wiped out?
this might not be correct, but I believe a supervolcano eruption wouldn’t necessarily obliterate everything, but it would cover the skies in a thick ash cloud, blocking out life and making it more difficult for life to survive. I think only the things in close proximity to the volcano would be fully destroyed. I could be wrong, though
If that happens, humans are among the most probable species to survive
@@bentownsend4017 I was apparently wrong on Yellowstone, it is actually cooling down, there are way more dangerous volcanoes elsewhere though.
Also Humans are a specialized species, we aren't exactly a living survival tool, we only got our brains. In which only currently the tribal peoples of the Earth are educated enough to actually survive properly.
Toba supervolcano did cause our near extinction once tho
The sad part is, after all this happens, the earth will die, be it from an asteroid, the sun expanding, or whatever other force of nature, and we wouldn't be here to take life into a safe place
There are several species of animals that are currently in the Stone Age. Earth has roughly 500 million years left before the sun grows too inhospitable for earth, and a billion years before it goes red giant. It may take a few million years for these Stone Age animals to ascend, but they still have time to have a chance to pick up the mantle where humanity leaves it.
@@gravoc857 sure, but them octopuses will then ask "what if octopi dissapeared :p
@@elnico5623 I don’t think octopus will ascend, sadly. They’re a solitary species. Incredibly smart, but they don’t pass knowledge along generation to generation. Also, living underwater prevents a species from entering say: the Bronze Age. Living on land gives us the advantage of having things as a wet or dry state, or somewhere in between. In the ocean, the only state that exists is wet.
Octopus will need to exit the oceans and become a social species, if they want to use their superior intelligence to ascend to civil intelligence.
My eyes are on ravens, apes, monkeys, and dogs.
@@gravoc857 so doggo will ask himself if he one day may be gone
In a life after people...... This is not the story of how we will vanish. It is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind.
