Daniel DvorkinThere’s been no doubt for some time that we’re in the middle of a sixth <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/mass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mass</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extinction</a>. Here are some numbers.If we’re very lucky, we’ll stop at the level of the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Devonian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Devonian</a> extinction, the least severe of the Big Five. More likely we’re headed for something on the scale of the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Ordovician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ordovician</a> or <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Triassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Triassic</a>. The <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Cretaceous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cretaceous</a> is in sight, and the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Permian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Permian</a> is not out of reach. From an evolutionary time perspective it will look like the Cretaceous, practically as instantaneous as the Big Rock.I confess, I really like the idea of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/corvid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corvid</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/paleontologists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paleontologists</a> digging up the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Anthropocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anthropocene</a>. Feathers gleaming under badlands dust, exciting cawing as dextrous claws scrape rock away from a flat-faced skull … But I’m very much not okay with what we’re doing right now to make that happen.Pop-sci coverage: <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2023/07/19/modern-sixth-mass-extinction-event-will-be-worse-than-first-predicted/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2023/07/19/modern-sixth-mass-extinction-event-will-be-worse-than-first-predicted/</a>Journal article, open access: <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/brv.12974" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/brv.12974</a>
