Roaches were designed for survival, more so than the human race. They are the most adapted animal on planet earth. This is a grand issue mostly because if we humans continue to contribute to global warming, in the near future roaches may become the dominant species on earth.
In the article roaches were said to have survived both nuclear bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is certain that cockroaches can survive higher dosages of radiation than humans can. Cockroaches are best suited for survival because they can eat anything and metabolize substances ranging from human feces to book-binding glue. Roaches are adaptable to the point where even exterminators can not kill the species in time before the roaches have already built resistance to the poison. Roaches are almost always seen as a burden to the environment, in some cultures they were seen as an upset to the culture. However, roaches do perform helpful tasks like cleaning up garbage and waste we humans leave behind. I find this issue very interesting because cockroaches have been here before the human race and they will most likely survive long after the human race is gone. They have intense survival mechanisms as i stated above, that contribute to there long lasting stay on planet earth. As climate change and global warming increases we humans may not survive, but the cockroaches will. Who would have ever thought that a tiny super bug was far more superior and reliant than a human being. http://www.popsci.com/if-people-were-cockroaches-adapting-to-climate-change-would-be-easy
