5,513 known mammal species have gone extinct since 1900, we can calculate that mammal species have gone extinct at the rate of 28 faster than it should have. If one factors in the numbers of animals extinct in nature, vertebrates (such as birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish), one finds that the extinction rate of the 20th century is 53 times higher than the baseline extinction rate.

The major dilemma faced by the supporters are aimed at the concerns that some of the species seemed to be created abruptly and appear unlinked and such a claim is the key component of the perquisite of the intelligent design theory. Once the Darwin’s…
