No species lasts forever, extinction is part of the evolution of life, but it doesn't matter when the next catastrophe of this level strikes us.
The most famous mass extinction event is undoubtedly when an asteroid collided with Earth I hit the ground Thus destroying dinosaurs and many other species on Earth. However, scientists are now warning that this will not be the last of its kind.
Many experts now claim that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, caused by the excessive reproduction and transformative behavior of a single species, Homo sapiens, that is, us humans. They believe that in our lifetime we have destroyed important habitats and caused a climate crisis.

Extinction. We assume that in the current situation, humans will be among the survivors.
Co-author of the aforementioned study, Gerardo Ceballos, believes that the sixth mass extinction will transform the entire biosphere, or habitable areas of the world, and create conditions in which it will be impossible for humanity to survive.
Biodiversity is recovering, but it is very difficult to predict the winners. Many of the losers in past mass extinctions seemed incredibly strong before

While the causes of the first five mass extinctions varied, it is useful to understand what happened during these dramatic chapters in Earth's history and what emerged after these catastrophes.
No one has seen these events, but they are on such a large scale that they could happen again. We have to learn from the past because it is the only data we have
Michael Benton, professor of paleontology at the University of Bristol, confirmed the current situation.
What exactly awaits us in the future is still unpredictable, but the outlook does not look too rosy.
