No we were born and originate here , but are terrible custodians . Maybe we will die off . When we do the earth will remove most traces of us bit by bit , except maybe Wall Of China and some Egyptian stuff might still stand . Even the plastic will go eventually .

Yeah, so? What are you going to do about it? Gee, now that you bring it up, I think I'll pour a little gasoline on my trash and light it up.

"Virus"? No.
Humans are not a virus.
“Alien”? No.
There is a vast amount of evidence that humans evolved on Earth.
“Destroy the Earth”? No.
Humans do not have the ability to destroy the Earth.
Do humans have the ability to affect our environment and that of other species? Yes.

It is well known in the scientific community that every species on Earth, humans included, will reproduce until their population exceeds the resources needed to sustain it (food, space, etc.) unless something else trims its numbers. It is natural and it has occurred often with humans in historical times. Occurrences of human overpopulation have been local but is now worldwide.
It is also part of nature that after overextending the population, corrections will follow, often by famine during less than optimal seasons of food supply, along with other deaths caused by a weakened population and by acts of desperation. This also has happened with humans and will continue to occur.
For people, famine is only one possibility from a long list of natural and man-made disasters, at least one of which will destroy a very large percentage of the population.
Our population WILL be reduced, that is a certainty. When it occurs, for humans it will be the most terrible tragedy in recorded history.
For nature, it will just be normal processes.
