Two vertebrate species are estimated to go extinct every year, which the authors wrote "does not generate enough public concern," and lends the impression that many species are not severely threatened, or that mass extinction is a distant catastrophe.

Scientists are currently working on a project to bring the wooly mammoth back from extinction, and Jarvis said, theoretically, a similar process could be used to revive other species that go extinct, so long as we have their genomes.

A team of researchers from the United States and New Zealand took a look at how likely species were to go extinct and how likely new species were to appear during a 60-million-year period, long before humans evolved.

The general idea of our reality boils down to three possibilities — humans go extinct before we are able to run a simulation of this size, humans choose not to run ancestor simulations, or we are currently participating in such a simulation.

Conservatively, scientists estimate that 200 species have gone extinct in the past 100 years; the "normal" extinction rate over the past two million years has been that two species go extinct every 100 years because of evolutionary and other factors.

In an October study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Danish researchers wrote that so many mammal species will go extinct in the next 50 years that Earth's evolutionary diversity won't recover for at least 3 million years.

If we want to get out of that — if we want to survive and ensure that so many other species don't go extinct — we have to start a new conversation about what we owe each other, and what we owe to the future.

Considering the Church has long been resistant to change—carnal love and conjugal pleasure, even within the bounds of marriage, was deemed pointless until the 1960s if not for the purpose of procreation —could the life of consecrated virgins soon go extinct?

"We're in a unique period where we've got the technology potentially in place to start changing the course for a lot of these species before they go extinct," says Ryan Phelan, executive director of Revive and Restore, the nonprofit group that submitted the plans.

Is it any wonder, then, that species and subspecies continue to go extinct — the western black rhino in 2011, the Japanese river otter in 2012, the Formosan clouded leopard in 2013, the Bramble Cay melomys in 2016 — even as we celebrate our success stories?

Before Gen-Xers go extinct, someone should make a W.P.A.-style effort to send ethnologists out to record their oral histories (most of which will probably be painstakingly recounted plots of syndicated TV shows), so their esoteric wisdom can survive to be puzzled over and periodically rediscovered by future historians, if there are any.

Stanford University scientist Cagan Sekercioglu has called climate change an "escalator to extinction" for birds: a "worst-case scenario" of warming (6.4 degree Celsius) would cause up to 30 percent of bird species on land to go extinct by 2100; an "intermediate" level of warming (2.8 degrees Celsius), would cause 400 to 550 species die-offs.

It's a baffling statement that Franzen never fully explicates, but it seems to imply that a nostalgic sense of wonder about the idea of dinosaurs roaming the earth is somehow more pure — on a moral, ethical level — than a belief that it is good to keep birds alive because it is bad for the planet when species go extinct.
