(105,882 posts)The OP is about various environmental problems, which are big, but survivable by the species - even global warming, in some parts of the world.
Our species can easily survive without global sourcing. Countries can't; 'civilisation' can't. But, as you say, humans have not evolved in modern society, and plenty of people have the knowledge and experience, in various places all over the world, to survive without civilisation. Societies and cultures would die, but not the species. And if there are bound to be survivors, then the species is not under threat of extinction. And I don't think the survivors will be different, when you look at what they have all in common with each other, with what all humans have in common now. Just different cultures, just as we still have some different cultures on the planet.
