Best case scenario to be sure.
For sure.
But tbf it's still a bold assumption that afte only a million years biodiversity would rebound to the point to support (mega)fauna like that again.
Hoping for the best.
Actually the fauna comes back really quick. After only a hundred years when nothing is maintenaned the plants will cover most of our infrastructure.
After probably 500 years most constructions are probably only hills.
No, not extinct species.
I don't believe we will leave isolated, big, and diverse oasis of specimens to just repopulate vacant areas.
We are well into a huge (and particularly very fast) mass extinction event, sure only a few headline megafauna species get press coverage, but the amount of invertebrates alone that go extinct and in contrast a single or a few species temporary takes its place in turn expediting the imbalance levels & collapsing entire ecosystems is staggering.

Are the horses a million years old or did humans go extinct recently and are they being snarky about it?
They are paleontologist supersmart-horses, many generations after their ancestors killed the last human.
They are also in a dome, decorated with a picture of mountains and a blue sky, that they set up to protect themselves from the remaining of the recent nuclear war.

Ha ha, no. In a million years, mankind would have paved the entire planet's surface, including the oceans. Our numbers would be in the hundred billions and most will live underground. The few elites would live on the uppermost levels and even have real gardens and plants. Wildlife would be extinct, save for a few robotic simulacra in the Imperial Zoo. Ironically, you would have to go to the Outer Colonies to see some animals that are extinct on Terra.
the cyberpunk 2077 universe just keeps looking more and more plausible every day, down to the corporate decisions and design

H.G. Wells would like a word. The Morlocks have some recipes to share.
An asteroid hit the earth and blanketed it in ash for ten thousand years, a force many times bigger than all the nukes humanity could ever hope to build, and life still thrived eons later. The Earth and nature doesn't need saving, we need saving.
Don't forget that we're still apart of the ecosystem and "nature" and subject to every single one of its laws, including the biggest one: adapt or die.

Good ending
A million years? That very generous (งツ)ว
I believe it's more like a hundred thousand years for humans on earth to go extinct, and another nine hundred thousand to clean the traces.

That's cute and all, but it ain't gonna be birds and deer who gets life off this rock once the Sun starts threatening to swallow it in a few billion years. We're screwing up badly in the short term, but we're the only hope Earth life has in the long term.
The heat death of the universe is inevitable anyway 🤷♂️
So? Death from old age is inevitable too, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop breathing or eating. All of life is just postponing the inevitable, but just because the inevitable is inevitable doesn't mean we should stop postponing.

I don't understand if this is sarcasm or if some people are actually that dense.

I would have also accepted:
“What are humans?”
This made me think of the time machine song from Futurama. https://youtu.be/LE1drY3A418

The sad thing is, if we want life as we know it (that includes horses happily munching on grass) to continue existing, humans are it's only shot.
It might be edgy and cool to wish humanity would go instinct, but with it, potentially all life will go instinct.
I mean not really once costal areas flood and the locations best for growing food change we will see massive issues with humanity surviving, the rest of the ecosystem would adapt, migrate and evolve to survive. Hell even chernobyl basically shows us even if we went the full nuclear option wildlife would bounce back better than before with just maybe shortened life expectancies. We are a lot more prone to die from changes than the wildlife on this planet is.

For some reason I read this comic with voices from asdfmovie
Do you think humans became extinct, transferred into computers, moved onto other corners of the universe, or became the horses?
Growing up, I wanted to believe humanity could become like the humans of the Federation.
The reality is, we are significantly morally inferior to the Ferengi.

Between climate change and nuclear proliferation, I think extinction is what I'd put my money on.
Yes.
We have way too much hubris about how we're going about life. Acting like we own nature, and we aren't actually a part of the ecosystem. And we have an existential crisis with climate change on our hands, and we're basically doing fuck all about it.
In fact, we are increasing oil production in many places right now. Probably the dumbest thing people will look back on when there's no more oil and climate change is in full swing. Why didn't we try harder to change course when we had a chance?
Because people could make money by not changing course.
(But you knew that...)

Also, what all the humans are saying about the extinct species since we took over
All Tomorrows mantelopes last cohearant thoughts after slowly losing their sapience with each generation.
🎶 We are a fluke
of the universe.
We have no right to be here.
And whether we can hear it or not,
The universe

Image Transcription:
A four-panel War and Peas comic.
The first panel shows two horse-like creatures standing in a field, munching on grass. Text in a yellow box at the top of the panel reads "One Million years from now...". Palm-like trees with yellow leaves and mountains are in the background. The creature on the left is brown and the creature on the right is grey. The text "Munch Munch" are over the brown creature.
The second panel shows the brown creature with its head raised up and a concerned look on its face, saying "Hey. Remember humans?"
The third panel shows the grey creature now with its head raised up, the background of nature has been replaced by an orange background, which is lighter in a circle around the area of the panel where the creature's head and speech bubble are. The grey creature is saying "No."
The fourth panel is a slightly zoomed in version of the first panel with the onomatopoeic munching text moved over the grey creature's head.
