The Sixth Extinction

Are we in the middle of earth’s sixth extinction?

The ‘Sixth Mass Extinction’ is a trending concept, and Kolbert’s book is a well-documented academic piece of work that lends credit to it. The length of one person’s life is not a proper perspective from which to recognize this phenomenon, but this read pulls this concept into clear focus. Purchase The Sixth Extinction.
