By killing it that is. Every great extinction seems to be followed by a rapid period of evolution to fill the niches left behind and life seems to take a bit of a leap foward each time. Is it possible that the fact that we're wiping out half of the planets species will actually cause life to be stronger in the long run?

 

NB: If you don't believe in evolution please don't derail this topic into a debate on whether evolution is correct or not. Please?

 

Edit: Oh damn. We still can't edit titles? Ignore the 'the' people.

Link please?

Sounds a bit dramatic to be a fact, but I'm opening to learning new things.

Interesting, but there's still no proof that all of those extinctions are because of humans

 

"The current extinction event is due to human activity, paving the planet, creating pollution, many of the things that we are doing today," said study co-author Assistant Professor Bradley Cardinale.

According to the article we're the cause of most of it.
