The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years - so why shouldn't we?
化石记录表明，许多物种已经延续了数百万年——那么我们为什么不能呢？
Look up Homo sapiens in the "Red List" of threatened species of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and you will read: "Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.
在国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）的《濒危物种红色名录》中查找智人（Homo sapiens），你会看到这样的描述："列为最不关心等级，因为该物种分布非常广泛，适应性强，目前数量正在增长，且没有重大威胁导致总体种群数量下降。"

As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.
正如往常一样，过去是未来的钥匙：我们现在已经识别出足够多的长期模式，这些模式塑造了地球以及我们这个物种的历史，因此可以基于证据对未来我们的后代所处的情境做出预测。
a sustained species.
持续的物种。
