A supercontinent will form in 250 million years wiping out all mammals

In 250 million years, the Earth’s continents will merge to form a new supercontinent called Pangea Ultima. This supercontinent will be uninhabitable for life, especially mammals. 

Researchers used supercomputer climate models to predict how the formation of Pangea Ultima will intensify climate extremes. They found that: 

  • The supercontinent will be extremely hot, dry, and uninhabitable for humans and mammals 
  • The planet could heat to between 104 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit in many places, with even higher daily extremes 
  • Much of the landmass wouldn’t have water to drink or grow food 
  • Mammals wouldn’t be able to physiologically withstand such a relentless onslaught of heat 

The last period in which the continental landmasses were near to one another was 336 to 175 million years ago, as the supercontinent of Pangaea

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience uses supercomputer climate models to examine how a supercontinent, dubbed Pangea Ultima (also called Pangea Proxima), that will form 250 million years from now will result in extreme temperatures, making this new supercontinent uninhabitable for life, specifically mammals.

The oldest mammaliaform ecological radiation ran from 190 to 163 million years ago in the early-to-mid Jurassic Period — amid the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea — and involved the first true mammals and their closest relatives

Morganucodon is usually considered the first mammal but its oldest fossils, only represented by isolated teeth, date from around 205 million years ago

Another inhabitant of icy northern waters, the bowhead whale, holds the record for the longest-living mammal
