Since I was a child I have dreamt everyday of exploring an Earth where humans had never evolved.

I hate what we've done to this planet, there is nearly no wilderness left.

Anyone feel the same?

you wouldn't last a day. an earth where we never evolved is full of huge predatory animals. all those pretty birds and squirrels you admire out in the wilderness would be 10ft tall monsters

pic related, we murdered these vicious bastards over and over until they became the modern day raccoon.

I know, it'd be brutal and I'd be eaten alive within hours, but I just want to see an auroch or a cave lion or a moa or and the endless.

I guess if we don't end up obliterating ourselves me might go towards some kind of global garden, but its not the same man...

It's in spanish, but here's a pic of what you're looking for - it's name is Cyonasua (lived 7-5 million years ago).

I don't have internet, cable or satellite at home, not available. It was a shock at first, going "back in time" but I enjoy getting away from the technology. Some people don't want to, or can't, live without it.

USA has 762,000 square kilometers of National Forests.
These are not National Parks, State Parks, or Nature Preserves.
They are basically wilderness areas. Go camp, hunt, fish, hike, explore, whatever.
So you know how large 762,000 km2 is?
> Twice as big as the entirety of Finland
> nearly teiplr the UK
> only 100,000ish km2 short of the whole of Scandanavia

Dont know what shit tier country you are in but we got plenty of Wilderness here in the USA.

I think by wilderness OP means yet unaffected by man, and I agree that it is a little sad that there is basically nowhere that hasn't been altered by us.

That vast 'wilderness' in the US would look far different if europeans hadn't done goofed the place up, there would be American beech, red oak and sweet birch trees and American chestnut understorying massive maple and sequoias bigger than even your great great grandfaggot can remember.
And even before that them Injuns were using fire to clear land and causing all kinds of erosion.

Calling that 'wilderness' wild is like calling your dog a wolf.

The Taiga forest still must be considered as primary forest to an extent. There is also primary forest left in the Amazon, Congo/ Papua etc too.

Lake Vostok too. The thought of what could be in there excites me.

The sixth mass extinction and rapidly declining biodiversity is a good thing?

Seriously, explain why you think that.

We COULD be a regulating positive force but right now, we're so not.

we're the only species with any chance of saving that biodiversity prior to the next mega asteroid, the degradation of the magnetic fields, or the incineration of the earth by the sun.

the right thing to do is use as much energy and resources as needed so that we can develop the technologies to escape completely from the earth. if we fail, then EVERYTHING is doomed.

If you were dropped off somewhere in the middle of your county, but as OP says, in a world where humans didn't evolve, do you think you could find the exact location of your house? How long would it take you? Assume there are no predators for you to worry about if you want.

I've daydreamed about being a survivor after a plague has wiped out 99% of the worlds population, I'd probably die within weeks even if I did manage to survive the plague, but if you did survive and could keep on surviving then the earth and all it's natural riches would be yours to enjoy, Imagine living out your days being able to travel anywhere you want without restriction from others, being able to hunt, fish and scavenge whatever you needed, there would be bounty for a time, and you could live as you see fit, I think I'd like that

Hm, I actually think I could pull it off. Maybe in about a week.
This area is defined by creeks and valleys and I've got some fairly distinctive formations around my place.
Assuming no major earthmoving has been done and the presence of trees instead of fields hasn't significantly changed the erosion patterns or creek movement, it fairly possible.
