"14 Perils That Could Lead Humanity to its Demise"

TL;DR Summary
A new study led by researchers from the University of Stockholm outlines 14 potential "evolutionary traps" that could lead to humanity's extinction. These traps include global threats such as climate change and pandemics, as well as technology-related issues like chemical pollution and nuclear arms. The traps are interconnected and reinforce each other, making it likely that we will be ensnared in multiple traps. However, the researchers emphasize the need for active transformation and deliberate efforts to counter these traps, highlighting the importance of engaging with nature and society while being aware of the global consequences of our actions.
