If climate change change with initial human contact seemed especially seemed deadly for megafauna (big sloths). 50 - 10 thousand years ago large mammals became extinct everywhere except Africa.

It effects the physical attributes and climate of the environment. This often leads to extinction. Most types of life are also closely associated with the environment.

Extinction is important in the evolution of life. Mass extinctions are well known in their effects. However, there are many smaller extinctions that also effect the evolution of life. Drops in sea level and climate change are commonly used to explain mass extinction, but new theories involving extraterrestrial bodies are gaining importance.  ]]> 2018-02-08 18:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards38/8eczg2wycg0j/wish/229750161 gl9489 https://padlet.com/aedwards38/8eczg2wycg0j/wish/229754558 Some languages are going extinct because people that speak them are dying.

The environment effects history by recording and keeping evidence of events that have happened and extinctions have a major impact because they take away or change it's structure. It adds events to it and kills living organisms.

The effects of a species' extinction could be devastating to other organisms living in the ecosystem. Multiple organisms rely on one another to exist, and just taking one out of the equation will most likely have undesirable results. This study says that at least 200 species have been lost due to aftermath of one specie going extinct. An example would be a parasite on a Dodo going extinct because it no longer has any suitable hosts.]]> 2018-02-09 00:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards38/8eczg2wycg0j/wish/229862309 sd0357 https://padlet.com/aedwards38/8eczg2wycg0j/wish/229871174 This article/book tells about why we should care about common species.

Nearly one thousand years ago the first European in the western hemisphere was established in West Greenland. Five hundred years later that colony failed and died.  Speculation of why the Norsemen vanished runs from the Black Plague to pirates. However most conclude that it was the Vikings themselves, failing to adapt to changing climate and squandering natural recourses that led to their extinction.

Many species die off as a result of being incapable of adapting to their environment quickly enough. Humans being the main cause of green house gasses, we are the cause of the epic consequences leading to a mass extinction that rivals the Permian extinction, better known as The Great Dying.

There have been five major mass extinctions in Earth’s history –colleagues recently proposed a sixth – and comparing current rates of change to the geological record of the “Big Five” extinctions suggests that this time the warning signs are real. And we, the humans have the power to stop the mass extinctions, and start caring to out world, care about the species, they are dying, and our world is getting worse, he few species that survived gave rise to all life thereafter and there has not been such a profound restructuring of ecosystems since, perhaps because this “survival of the fittest” rendered their descendants more tolerant to global change.

Since the ceasing of change on Earth with heavy factors like overactive volcanos or even giant meteors passing through the atmosphere, there has only been one great cause to even another extinction, the amount of harm us humans have done to nature. Humans today are not motivated to stop what's been started considering the amount of damage we have done to the envionrment. Uproars in manufacturing, poaching, release of toxins and trash into nature, causing rapid climate change, and so much more is leading us into another mass extinction.

This article connects the our possible extinction and the changing of many environments to the human race. The pollution and other wastes that we produce infect our environment and our potential future. The environments that we are effecting force the wildlife of those environments to adapt to new conditions to avoid extinction. Since, certain animals depend on others to survive, the loss of one species, can certainly lead to the end of much more.]]> 2018-02-13 17:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards38/8eczg2wycg0j/wish/231174663
