Seems as if the planet is swept fairly clean every so often. Remember Noah and his Ark?
It may be that some of us species are getting a little big for our britches, as they say. Time to take us down a notch, maybe? Seems to be the way this place works.
A flood, comets, asteroids and volcano's. Where there's a will, a way has been found.
Getting more serious, it seems to me that mankind has been dodging some pretty severe viruses and prions. AIDS may have been a boon in the longer run by sparking genetic research which could help with some of these things.
And it does seem like a matter of time before viruses get it all together and one of these things is truly devastating.
