What If the Earth Had No Core?

Deep beneath Earth's crust and mantle lies its core, formed during the Iron Catastrophe—a major geological event where Earth was heated above iron’s melting point. Would a coreless Earth be sustainable? Could humans survive on an Earth without a core? What kind of environment would exist on such a planet?
