I voted for 2012... 🙂
I'm a bit of a Nostradamus fan, let's see what happens in 2012 (Somewhere at the end of 2012 was where he said the world would end - though I could remember wrongly)

Humans aren't really evolving much anymore...we mix our genes all across the planet and due to medical technology "natural selection" doesn't come into play too much.
humans may not evolve naturally anymore and I agree that there's not really a selction (we kind of protect the weaker members of society from dieing), but I think that we already can manipulate gens drastically and will do it eventually. Imagine people messing with human gens, for me sounds scary...

In reality we aren't the top at food chain. Try going to the sea or to the jungle and before you know it we are food for the fish.
go into the dungle or to the sea taking a gun or at least a spear with you. Puts you some levels up in the food chain. 😀 Humans are extremely weak, but give them a weapon and they do a lot better. This is the only reason why I think that we have a nice rank in the chain.
There's nothing to see here. Proceed with what you were doing or throw rainbows at random pedestrians.

I don't think that there really is a top of the food chain, and if there was disease would be at the top, or bugs. (gross, don't ask why unless you really want an answer).
I also think that if we continue the way that we're going that we will be wiped out eventually, probably by nuclear war followed by a natural catostraphe. (There would be some survivors after the war, but they would be wiped out after the natural catostraphe.

I picked "Were we ever at the top?" since natural disasters endanger human life...I should have picked "2012 is drawing near...", huh?

There's also Mars Attack, Independence Day, The Fifth Element, War of the Worlds and, perhaps the best example: The Matrix. Yeah...I think I watch too much sci-fi. Or, I would, if such a thing were possible.

I vote for 2nd option, which means we will all have died by the time of overthrow...
Wow, I did not know that 2012 is such a crappy movie that can piss people this much. Guess I should have chosen Armageddon or Ragnarok to represent the end of the world 🤣
Indeed, food chain (part of food web?) has no "top". It is obvious that some of us will choose the 4th option. Other might answer differently because they think "top" is the symbol of our reign over other species...
its cold down here fam ~

No! We will always be at the top!
Humans has brain and know how to use it.And human are very selfish so for sure they will be the top no matter what they need to do or sacrifice. Thats what I think.

LMAO, that's like telling a lion to swim in the ocean or telling a raven it's not allowed to fly. Technology comes with us, it always has and always will. Modern man has never lived without tools and has only one animal to fear in this world: us!
Besides the Jungle isn't that tough to be honest, the only thing you have to fear are mosquito's and there are plenty of trees in your surrounding to gain the higher ground. I've camped out in the Amazon a few times with nothing more than a Machete. I think Africa is a far more dangerous place to survive without modern day weaponry.

Even if men's able to kill all kinds of animals by means of arms, traps and other facilities, one shouldn't forget that - not only in Africa, but worldwide - one of the major causes of death are infectious diseases. Even in countries with proper medical facilities people die from HIV, pneumonia or even the flu, if you're unlucky. Without question there's a huge class of species which means danger to us no matter in which country we live or how many precautions we take. So we should be careful claiming superiority all too fast.

I daresay at least some of the humans are capable of eating pretty much anything, including any aliens that might come by...
No. Humans will do everything they can to
stay at the top of the food chain. It is just not
possible for any other creture to catch up to us
in less than 10 million years and by then we are
all most likely dead and in case we weren't,
other species would be. If there are other life forms,
it is very unlikely they are humanoids. Their ways
of life would differ from ours and they necessarily
wouldn't eat or have social hierarchy.
