Animals and plants belong to this planet and were and are the only creatures meant to inhabit the earth.

Humanoids came to earth after excaping the last planet they had polluted, used up all resources and destroyed thru horrific warfare.

Obviously humanoids repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

After we are done with earth, which planet will we kill off next?"

Perhaps we should just try to take care of this one, it's a pretty nice place to live. From an historic perspective, in our pre-industrial years we were doing pretty well. Without the advanced medicine and food production techniques our populations were fairly stable and well controlled by nature. It seems that the trouble began when we figured out how to control our environment, support greater and greater populations and population densities and increase our numbers to unsustainable levels, where our very existence degraded nature faster than it (nature) could heal itself and recover.

In the end, nature and the laws of natural selection will win out and we'll be shoved off our self appointed "top of the heap". It's happened before to dominant species, no reason to think that we're really any different.
