One asteroid can and has done more damage than we humans have in the 90,000 some-odd years modern humans have been on this planet. Mother nature has not only come close to wiping out 100% of the life on earth, but it's done so MULTIPLE times, and we have an awful lot of bones in museums to pay testament to both that fact, and the fact that climate change, mass extinction of species, and change in environment are hardly unique to our lifetimes.
