kitkat Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 My existence today confirmed by this forum that my ancestry of Human, primates, etc all the way back to its origin is 100% true. This makes complete sense to me since any new organism from scratch after life became firmly established would have very little chance of survival. This information is extremely important for the masses to grasp its significance since we are pushing so many other species to extinction. They become a dead end and this stops evolution for all of them. Millions of years of evolution down the drain for all of the species that are currently on the extinction list and no hope of comeback. They can't because there is no place for them to live and evolve into the future. Does this upset you as much as it does me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The rise of human civilization is indeed the primary factor in a global mass extinction event that we are currently in the middle of. It does bother me, too. Keep in mind, though, that most species in the history of the planet have gone extinct even without us around to inadvertently kill them off. Those that survive split into different species, and the total amount of biodiversity remains constant of gradually increases despite setbacks such as homo sapiens, or whatever killed the dinosaurs.

That suicide is painless, It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please.

vordhosbn Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Besides, it's not hard to beat a species that wiped out themselves along with most others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Not only that, but we are changing the direction life evolves in. Many species have new adaptations for dealing with city life, such as louder songs for birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
