earlier this year me & a US timber industry fan had a long public argument. what can i say, he hooked me w/ some badly distorted statistics about economic development.
anyway about halfway through, i said we were in the midst of the sixth great extinction, right, and he demanded back instantly for me to show him some great tide of animals disappearing in the modern era. a pro-extraction activist using conservationists’ big victory — protecting endangered species — to prove that no species were endangered! i had NOT heard that one before.

Some think there are humans who are crosses with Neanderthal. So, extinction, but some genes live on. Not an option for many species.
Depressing.
