Question
As background to this post, here is a link to short article from Time magazine online that explains the sixth extinction in a nutshell:
http://time.com/3035872/sixth-great-extinction/ (Links to an external site.)
The article is entitled "The Sixth Great Extinction Is Underway -- And We're To Blame," author Jerry Kluger.
Elizabeth Kolbert's writing style in her book The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History is comprehensible and clear. Aside from the fact that you should be underlining, writing in the margins, and taking notes like crazy, this book is not difficult at all to read. (One hint though! Be sure to look up and write down the meaning of words in the scientific jargon).
For this post -- and don't post until you've completed the reading!! -- choose a few lines, a short paragraph or a sentence from the article that you find especially interesting, strange, revealing or that causes you to react intellectually or emotionally.
Explanation / Answer
Frankly speaking, this article may be written on a popular level, but expecting comment on a scientific basis from a physicist is some what wired. But lets try to say sonething from hight school biology knowledge.
Extinction of species is something ovbious in some point view, since it is well known that" survival of the fittest" is only way to contiue in earth as a spices. Even the human being is responsible for extinction in some cases. But each and every species are tge part of the sane ecosystem, and well connected, dependent as well. Hence for our own interest, we should conserve as far as possible.
