   How many species have disappeared in the last 500 million years?

   • As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.

   How has mass extinction shaped life in the past?

   • “Mass extinctions have likely increased the resiliency of many animal groups, making them harder to naturally go extinct,” Monarrez says, which, darkly, speaks to how much pressure we’re putting on Earth’s biodiversity at this very moment. Today’s crisis is all the more reason to understand how extinction has shaped life in the past.
