Abstract

Many readers will know about the end-Permian extinction, in which between 90 and 95 per cent of species died out, and the end-Cretaceous extinction, in which an asteroid strike took out all the dinosaurs except birds. Benton's take-home, that extinctions can also be creative events because they pave the way for new organisms, is a little well- wom. Views Book Extinctions Michael J.
