Mass extinctions

What are the most dangerous kind of problems in life? Murder and mass extinction of humanity are some of the problems and dangers of this world. There are more dangers out there that are likely or unlikely to happen. Dangers happen everywhere around the world, yet they keep appearing The most common problems will most likely be mass extinction of humanity, murders by someone the victim knows or trusts too much. “Landlady” is a story created by Roald Dahl, is about murder that you trust too much

our planet into the sixth mass extinction of life through rapid deforestation, pollution, over-population, and many other deadly reasons; if not enough effort is put towards stopping this massive extinction then the human race does not have much time left. With the mass extinction on the rise, there will not be any meat, eggs, cheese, and milk on the shelves but we may not been even around to take those products off of those shelves… To further understand the sixth extinction, it would make sense to

out. Extinction is important to evolution because it creates new species and new forms of life. Conditions change such as climate change, a new predator arrives and other geological effects that affect the way a certain individual species change and or die out due to not being able to adapt. Dinosaurs were dominant until they fell than Mammals begin to evolve and adapt. I do believe that mass extinction is happening today and if not today sometime soon due to humans. If mass extinction isn’t happening

sixth mass extinction due to the rising extinction rates that are growing far beyond ever before. The sad truth is that we as humans are one of the main reasons for the loss of all these species. There has never been so many different kinds of organisms to coexist and through deforestation, pollution release, and over harvesting we begin to see a decline in biodiversity. (Ehrlich and Ehrlich, 1981; Hughes et al., 1997; Vitousek, et al., 1997) This is referred to as the sixth mass extinction because

seem to be globally threatening, yet the constant waste of certain species of animals and the destruction of an animal's natural habitat will lead to the endangerment and eventually the extinction of the species. Furthermore, many people are unaware that the world is currently in the midst of the largest mass extinction in history. The human population's use of domesticated and wild animals is both horrific and dangerously frivolous. For example, one might examine the usage of vivisection, or animal

refusing to acknowledge our mistakes as the Earth expires. Whether from deforestation, invasive species, or climate change, there is one thing completely clear. The Earth is currently in the middle of a sixth mass extinction, and it’s been caused by the human race. It’s clear that a great extinction is coming from the evidence of the destruction of other species around us. The choices made by the human race have too often negatively affected the species around them. Tracy Wilson, in an article for animal

history of environmental change, as well as discussing modern day environmental trends. Her latest novel, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History focuses on placing what she terms “The Anthropocene Extinction” in the context of life’s history. Through an analysis of the Big 5 extinctions as well as of more isolated extinctions, Kolbert communicates that the definition of extinctions has evolved with human understanding. In the past, renowned scientists have wavered between a catastrophist and uniformitarian

“De-extinction, or resurrection biology, is the process of creating an organism, which is either a member of, or resembles an extinct species, or breeding population of such organisms. Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although selective breeding has also been proposed. Similar techniques have been applied to endangered species.” (Wikipedia) Scientist should not de-extinct species because people could be exploiting these animals solely for selfish purposes. Ultimately causing individuals

Five mass extinctions have occurred throughout the history of planet Earth. It is predicted by Author Elizabeth Kolbert, that a sixth extinction may be underway. The Sixth Extinction is a book in the viewpoint of Kolbert and narrates her travels around the globe while she studies numerous wildlife species. Kolbert claims that ¨Those of us alive today not only are witnessing one of the rarest events in life's history, we are also causing it,” (Kolbert, Page 8). Throughout her work, Kolbert claims

99.9 percent of all species are extinct, though this is over 3.5 billion years at low rates, since the evolution of Homo Sapiens, specifically the last 20,000 years, the extinction rates have increased by 1000 ( back ground rate and http://www.endangeredspeciesinternational.org/overview.html). Habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution and the introduction of invasive species are major anthropogenic causes of biodiversity loss within species, ultimately resulting in the decline of species
