what species do you think will inherit the earth after all of humanity left or died for some reason.

You look nice today.

Cereal is pretty cool. If you're cool you'll add me on Steam. Also, Letterboxd.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that.
Octopus, no joke.
Cats or foxes.
Both keen, fluffy, adorable, and vindictive fuckers.
They reproduce at fairly alarming rates if they go unchecked, and after we all die out they will inherit the earth.
Who doesn't want fucking foxes and cats running the place. That'd be great!

It'll just be people but instead of 98% being dumb it'll be the opposite
Pigs. They reproduce much faster than us and they're clever as hell.

Bunnies. They will rule the earth with an iron fist.

I'm pretty sure we're taking all of them down with us.

That would heavily depend on how we died.
This is stupid.
What are the most intelligent species other than dolphins that currently exist? Crows, dolphins, and octopuses. It's theorized now that social coordination is required for the development of language and sapience; if Hofstadter's strange loop hypothesis is correct, the two could even be causally linked. So: which of those three are social? If crows: could their body structure accommodate a dramatic increase in brain size?

Their body structure would have to change; at the very least they would need to be bigger. That said, I'm going with ravens over crows. Generally speaking a raven is already larger and more intelligent; crows are probably to them what apes are to us.
As for octopi, I don't see them evolving intelligence above their current level; they're already so effective at what they do that they don't need it, barring any significant change in their environment. But the major advantage they have over crows and dolphins is their ability to manipulate objects with their tentacles. (The major disadvantage: they eat each other.)
If social skills are the ultimate measure of sentience, then you have to go with dolphins, no question. Crows and octopi congregate when they have to, but are generally loners; you almost never see a solitary dolphin. Furthermore, dolphins have the ability to socialize with other species, which is a major leap ahead of the rest of the animal kingdom.
Of course, all this assumes that the most intelligent species will claim dominion after we're gone. And it doesn't qualify machines as a species, a bias which I think would have to change post singularity.
Goddamn wasps, if we don't end ourselves they'll end us.
Rabbits or roaches cuz them bastereds just.dont.die
Are you not Entertained ?!?
if humans die out completely then i am sure that most of the other species would to so i have no idea
Are whales that become beached whales truly stuck or are they simply trying to evolve?

Well this is supposed to be a serious thread, it's idiots who brake the rules that make it a joke thread

Birds evolved from dinosaurs as I was saying previously and I'm pretty sure that dinosaurs were the dominant species on Earth in their days, so I'm going to go with this one. Or else whatever humans evolved into.
Most likely something that escaped a science lab.

Well currently 60% of the diversity and 1/3 of the earth's biomass belongs to insects.
