  <description>&lt;p&gt; Humans have not gone unnoticed on this planet.  We&#8217;ve left our mark with technology, agriculture, architecture, and a growing carbon footprint.  But where is this trajectory headed?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; In the first of a two-part series: what will be lost and what will still be around 100 years from now?  James Lovelock says a hotter planet will prompt mass migrations.  And Cary Fowler urges us to save our seeds &#8211; the health of future farms may depend on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Plus, from antibiotics to sewage systems: why human ingenuity ultimately saves the day. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; And, sure, humans will be around in a century, but &#8211; with bionic limbs and silicon neurons &#8211; would we recognize them?&lt;/p&gt;
