Scientists revealed what could destroy humanity

Many earthlings believe in the possibility of a large-scale catastrophe that will destroy all humanity. They fear the collapse of an ancient structure in Uzbekistan, are afraid of "herring kings," monitor whether prophecies come true or not, writes REN TV.

For the most part, people's fears are unconfirmed, but a global catastrophe is still possible, scientists noted.

In particular, a large meteorite could fall on Earth, or a comet could dangerously approach the planet. The chances are small, but they exist, experts believe.

The second significant danger to humanity as a whole is nuclear war. Diplomats and politicians are working to prevent a global confrontation that would destroy the planet.

In third place are various viruses and microbes, both those that appear when ice melts in Arctic regions and those that scientists grow in test tubes. According to some researchers, the danger of Earth's inhabitants dying from a virus invented in laboratories is very high.

Also, humans could hypothetically be threatened by zombies, mutant fungal networks, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence, experts stated.
