Who lived on our Earth before humans? The answer would be – Dinosaurs.But if you are asked, who was on earth before dinosaurs? So you may start thinking a little. In fact, the earth on which we live has faced cataclysms 5 times till now. Every great cataclysm completely destroyed life on Earth. As much as this is true, it is also true that after every great destruction, life has flourished again.
Just as there was a great destruction on Earth 5 times and everything was destroyed, in the same way the world will end once again. Human beings will cease to exist, but have you ever wondered who will rule the earth after the sixth great destruction? You must be thinking about the human being of the future, about which various claims have been made. However, it is not so. The creature that ruled the earth after the great destruction is still present in the world. This has been confirmed in a research.
Who will dominate after these people?
The sixth civilization will be born on human earth. Scientists believe that the underwater octopus will establish its dominance in the sixth civilization. Groundbreaking research by Professor Tim Coulson of the University of Oxford suggests that these octopus-like marine masterminds could be the architects of the next civilization in a post-human world. His research says that when humans will not be on Earth, then this eight-legged sea creature will rule the Earth.
Why Octopus?
Scientists say that what makes octopuses different from other creatures is their brain. Octopuses are very intelligent creatures, which have the potential to create the next civilization in place of humans. Research has said that octopuses have a brain like a computer. Unlike humans, they house all of their processing power in a skull-shaped basket and distribute their intelligence throughout their bodies. Each of their hands has its own little brain that can problem-solve independently, making them the original cloud computing system. Scientists say that octopuses are multitasking, one of their hands can search for food, while the other hand can be used for other work.
Use tools like humans
Scientists say that octopuses can use many types of tools like humans. They have been seen using coconut shells and bottles as temporary shelters for their mobile homes. They can even use tools to defend themselves. This proves that when it comes to the rise of the next civilization they are already gathering their building materials.
