Is it plausable that the present downfall in species variation around the globe could be comparable to the Big 5 extinctions which took place in the Earth's History. As such, does anyone think mankind can sustain itself through an extinction as widespread and devestating as previous mass extinctions.
what does a Holocene extinction event mean to the world and us as a sentient species?

Yes it is not only plausable but inevitable if we keep on abusing the planet and its life-forms the way we are. Maybe the cockroaches will take better care of the planet once they take over. They seem to have better survival instincts.

I'm not sure about This 6th extinction, however many of the oldest cultures native america, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, India, and a few others on earth all have very similar story that this is the fourth time man has existed and that if we tick off mother earth or a certain god. We will be wiped out again. We only know so much about our earth. We test rocks to see how old she is, but rocks do recycle themselve(over millions of years) maybe the earth is much older then we think.
