National Geographic piece suggests that everything we know about mass extinctions may be wrong.
Remarkable turn around this would be if it pans out. Everything you think you know is also wrong.
Meh, this only covers some mass extinction events – not all of them. Not even most of them, in fact, which remain in the world of supervolcanos, meteorite impact, and general Oh Shit It’s All Gone Pear-Shaped-type events.
Cheery thought, though, that we’re all screwed in 10 million years anyway.
