Species Extinction: A Pathway to the Sixth Extinction We have all played a game of Jenga, each player removes one block per turn and either the tower will remain upright, or it will all tumble down. This Hasbro game is an exceptional example of the sixth extinction. Simply imagine each block as a different species. Humans are on top while other species like rhinos, polar bears and lions are on the bottom. If one is removed off of the bottom there is a possibility of all of them toppling over,…

There have been five mass extinctions in our history, and some scientists say we are on the brink of the sixth one. “In the last five hundred years, 869 species have gone extinct” (Species Extinctions the Facts).

In the study of evolution one time in history that is very closely looked at is exactly when humans arose in the world. There are certain characteristics that have to be met in order for something to be considered “human.” The question is when where all of those characteristics met?
