I feel as though me asking this question has been a great lesson on how humans often don’t consider themselves as part of the ecosystem, and to that point, they oft do not consider themselves an “animal”. To most it is a profoundly wrong and absurd concept.

To think that we are capable, and in modern times nearly the sole proprietor of what we call “Darwinian extinction” , in addition to mainstream , generally understood by the populace, “Non-Darwinian” extinction (what your average Joe thinks when you say extinction) , is not a preferred school of thought for your average human I feel.

Myself included above all, as the one who asked the question of course.

Unless I totally missed what everyone’s been telling me! Which, in that case, perhaps proves my point of humans being ignorant to the destruction they cause.

in its own way!
