  • Humanity Responsiple For Extinction

    Humans are partially responsible for animal extinction through activities like uncontrolled hunting and deforestation that remove animals' natural habitats. However, climate change is also a major factor, as animals unable to adapt to new environments will go extinct. While humans may have contributed to some extinctions like mammoths, there is not enough archaeological evidence that overhunting alone caused widespread megafauna extinctions. Instead, significant climate and ecological changes were likely primary drivers of extinction. In conclusion, the authors argue that animal extinction cannot be entirely blamed on humans, as the animal population was not dramatically altered in the 2 million years of human existence, and more evidence is needed to understand the complex, long-term population fluctuations that led to extinction.

    HUMANITY, RESPONSIPLE FOR EXTINCTION?

    José: My opinion is that humans are somewhat guilty because with situations like the
    indiscriminate hunting of animals, the burning and cutting down of entire forests, many are the
    animals that will not be able to have home and especially Many men have taken the young to
    exhibit them in circuses, zoos and parks, allowing these animals to lose their natural world and
    making their lives shorter than normal.

    Román: as you can see in both articles, animal extinction doesn't depend only of the hunting but
    the climate change is another factor you need to consider about animals to survive, animals who
    doesn't adapt into new enviroments are intended to extinct so that in my opinion we are no
    entirily responsible for animal extinction, there are some cases where i have to say that humans
    where responsible for example the mammoths but there is too little archaeological evidence to
    support the idea that megafauna hunting was persistent or widespread enough to cause
    extinctions. Instead, significant climatic and ecological changes may have been to blame.

    Conclusión

    In conclusion we strongly believe the extinction of animals does not entirely correspond to
    humans, there are not enough evidence to believe it, because we have 2 million years existing and
    the animals fauna has not been altered so much in that time, it's a complicated issue but we
    cannot take for granted the things some people say about it because we don't have enough
    evidence. The philosopher Matthew Stewart said’’extinction is a process–meaning that it unfolds
    over some span of time–and so to understand what caused the demise of North America’s
    megafauna, it’s crucial that we understand how their populations fluctuated in the lead up to
    extinction. Without those long-term patterns, all we can see are rough coincidences.’’
