I'm quite certain Chimpanzees, rabbits, and cows don't have visionaries among them. And if humans blow up the world they'll be blown up too, poor things. Only the cockroaches (it's always the cockroaches) will survive. Probably.

In any case, Bijo, I'd like to add that with science going the way it is we humans might rely more on artificial evolution instead of a natural one. We've been playing with the genetics of our livestock and our crops for quite a long time, but the knowledge about the real stuff inside as far as timelines go is a very recent development.
