There is no argument that humans are earth's invasive species


It would be difficult to argue that humans are not THE invasive species when considering earth’s wellbeing and equilibrium.

Earth for all its diversity and five well recorded extinctions, is well advanced in harbouring is sixth extinction.

Humans, that’s you and me, are driving this extinction as explained by The Huffington Post in its story headed: “World on brink of sixth great extinction, species disappearing faster than ever before”.

Writing in her new book, “The Sixth Extinction: An unnatural history”, Elizabeth Kolbert discusses the previous five mass extinctions and then turns her attention to the sixth extinction in which the cataclysm is us.
