    1. [yDNAhgI] 6th "Great Extinction"
    2. Kenneth Nordtvedt
    3. 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.

    3. 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.
