I am convinced, without researching Tesla, that not a single person (or bot) on this forum has the means to gauge the accuracy of any of Tesla's work.
We would need weapons to take down elephants and last time I checked we don't have any kinds of naturally occurring weapons like claws or sharp teeth.
It's only natural for a man to make a spear when in the wild.
Actually we really are. Just we have reached a point where everyone can be the "lazy" male lion.
There are many animals who could easily kill us if we had encountered them without guns or other weapons.
Yes, but what would be the first thing you did if you woke up in the middle of nowhere? What if you knew you were in bear territory?
He was, btw, over 2 meters tall when he stood on his feet.

Well, according to experts the volcanic eruption on Iceland was a result of increase in global temperatures.
I don't see how it could possibly be attributed to anything other than internal factors in the Earth. Think about how much heat it takes to melt rock. Think about how the entire core of the planet is liquid and the only part cold enough to be solid is a thin crust on top. The inside of our planet could care less about the thin coat of gas that sits atop the crust.
I don't see any explanation for how it is
physically possible.
That ice age I talked about was caused by all the dust and gases in the atmosphere.
Given that this was not observed in a laboratory, you can't say with absolute certainty that this is the case. Nobody can. Nor can I say it was definitely the sun's cycles. The point is that there are a million factors involved in climate and both our hypotheses could be wrong for all we know.
It happened over the whole Earth and there wasn't any freezing rain involved.
Okay, let's go back to the sheer scale of the Earth again. The surface is warm mostly because it is hit by electromagnetic radiation from the sun. This alone is not enough. Another factor that plays in are the so-called greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. An exceedingly significant portion of the radiation that hits the Earth is reflected right back into outer space. The greenhouse gases retain some of this radiation, raising the temperature of the atmosphere. If you block out a significant portion of the light from the sun, the Earth does begin to cool as it is getting less radiation and giving off some of its own.
But the heat does not just disappear. For this to happen to the entire world at once would require coordination of entropy on levels far surpassing miracle.
The reason it seemed like it had frozen rapidly was that one of the animals they found there was eating of a bush.
What about the other things they found? Yes, it is possible to freeze that fast, but only in a localized space. It is just not happening to the entire surface of a planet this size at once.
There is a site somewhere on the Earth where you can clearly see what happened (the rapid freezing and stuff) which they showed on that program.
Sure, but the existence of that localized area doesn't mean it is representative of what happened.
According to the Mayans each cycle ends with a huge natural disaster which wipes out most of the animals. That ice age I talked about was the end of "cycle 5"
I am not aware of the ice age cycle
causing any mass extinction events by itself. Sure, mass death, I can see, but not mass extinction.
Because people are stupid and there is a risk of dying?
That would be why, yes.
Cats rarely get any lethal diseases.
See, but you aren't a veterinarian who would know how accurate this assertion is. That or someone who works at the pound. They might have better perspective as well.
If we just step outside we have a high risk of getting skin cancer.
I don't think it is a risk. Heck, simply living has a "risk" of getting cancer because cell division isn't perfect every time. The question is how well our cancer fighting mechanisms are functioning
when cancerous mutations occur.
In a few thousands (or hundreds of thousands) years we will probably have different kinds of humans, some with hair over their body.
We already have those.
As of right now we need clothes and houses.
But we didn't evolve away our fur/hair for no reason. The stuff is literally a flea magnet.
That we could fashion clothes for ourselves is the reason we have the advantage of nudity. If we somehow lost the ability to make clothes, we'd start seeing hairier and hairier people.
It's hard to find those small things when you know what you had in mind when writing and when there are so many lines.
I've trained my eyes to read my posts as I read posts of another person: Actually reading and noticing misspellings. ;D
Critically low natural resources caused by ecological disaster that will likely incite a war of survival among the nations of Earth.
Inconceivable. War is a luxury of the prosperous. In that event, nobody is prosperous enough that they can afford to do anything but farm for their lives.
Terrorism could also unleash the NBC(Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) weapon of man's demise.
Terrorism is a buzzword and distraction. Also they don't have research departments or resources to mass produce one-use destruction agents. If anyone is going to release a super virus or otherwise, "End the world," it will be the rich nations.
Also no virus has 100% mortality. We are centuries too early in the field to know how to make one even if it is possible.
