Looking bleak
|
| In the history of life on earth there have been five great extinction spasms - the best known being the evaporation of the dinosaurs following the calamitous arrival of a large interstellar object. Based on the latest discoveries in evolutionary biology and ecology, paleontologist Leakey believes we humans are creating a sixth such catastrophe in which fully half of the earth's species may die out during the next century. He sees no reason to assume that humans are immune to the debacle. Included is a stinging rebuke of those who defend hunting as part of sound wildlife management. Quite readable, non-technical, scary. |
