Perhaps they could elect to live somewhere on the planet that's far away from us and just too hard to reach, and leave us to screw up the rest of the planet all we want while they live in their little oasis.

and heres another q; if they DID die out; what makes you think they'd leave any trace of themselves behind? I mean if they DID have superior technology, if another "lesser" race got hold of it; it could shift the balance if this planet.
Why couldn't they leave traces of themselves behind if they died out? Their remains couldn't just fade into thin air, right? Maybe their remains could have been very well-preserved by virtue of the favorable environments they happened to thrive in. And I don't quite see how the factor of 'lesser' races comes in...

IF they existed and IF they were responsible; they wouldnt leave anything behind...providing of course they knew they were coming to an end.
Which might not have been the case. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Who knows? Maybe that's what happened.
