RE: Pathological Aspect Of Extinction #2; Background Rate Of Extinction
Species extinction should happen for sure, no matter what. It is nice to read this in your post (this is often forgotten on most articles I could have read on the topic). It is on the other hand good to point out that the extinction rate has increased by a lot due to humans... I am expecting a lot of troubles sooner or later... :(
You're right @lemouth. As you can see, in the past, without any form of technological advancement, human activities has cause more than a thousand species to be obliterated. Now, with some help from conservation effort and laws which forbid certain activities to be carried out, the situation seems to get a little bit better but who knows how many species that we have cause to extinct up until now. Some illegal activities still prevalent and certain other factors which is also influenced by human's activity such as global warming and extreme climate changes has made this world an unsuitable habitat for certain species which cause them to go extinct. It's an indirect cause of extinction.
This makes me thinking a lot about white rhinos... bloody humans... :(
