observed in animal evolution, but not plant evolution. It isnt because fewer plants become extinct; in the contrary, more plants species go extinct every day than animal species. The difference
is, as Whitty (2007) explains, the scientific community has come to realize that the living organism of the earth is simply more complex than expected and many species go extinct
before it is ever known they existed. Whitty (2007) reports that as many as 2.7 animal species and up to 270 plant species become extinct every day.
Whitty (2007) says that there have been five mass extinctions on Earth in the last 439 million years, "each wiping out between 50 and 95 per
cent of the life of the day, including the dominant life forms" (Whitty, 2007). The average recovery period following each mass extinction is 10 million years before biodiversity resembles something
close to what it looked like before the cataclysmic event. Scientists believe the earth is in a continuous extinction process. Since we
are currently in an extinction cycle, some believe that the swiftness at which species are dying out means that the human race may be severely affected by this extinction period
as early as 2100. PBS reports that, while scientists like David Jablonski believe the human race will survive the coming extinction, they believe man will not be supported by the
current ecosystem by then. For example, there will be no clean water or air, and as there will be no pollinators, there will be no cultivation. Anything that survives will
have had to have been preserved or synthesized because there will be little biodiversity to support life. Extinction is a normal process.
