Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Desert springtime, with flowers popping up all over the place, trees leafing out, streams gushing down from the mountains.

There are definitely recurring themes in humanity's relationship with our environment. The biggest is probably adaptation, because humans are incredibly good at adapting to new environments in relatively short periods of time. The ancestors of Homo sapiens started leaving Africa over one million years ago, moving from warm, tropical climates into the freezing wilderness of Europe and the desert ecosystems of the Middle East.
