Some scientists of the bio crowd are calling what’s going on today as the “6th Great Extinction”. Is no one going to stand up for extinctions? I have done some mathematical studies of extinctions in y lines, so I’ve come to sort of a fondness for them. Like individual animals’ deaths, extinctions make room for new life and critters. Actually, the human species would arguably not have come into existence without the first 5 great extinctions. Starting with the mosquito and Caribbean beach sand flies and “no nos” as they call them in the South Pacific, I can think of some extinctions which would be fine with me.

I've read several articles on the 6th Great Extinction and agree with you. I thought Rare Earth was a great book on the subject of extinctions. Carol Yocom PS I keep an eye out for Z63 (Fonteyn) topics in the list, but for the most part, I absolutely have no idea what is going on.
