This event will include the extinction of humanity. What this means is that the current loss of life today will soon justify the term The Sixth Extinction, a mass extinction like the one that destroyed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago

When humans originated about 100,000 years ago, they began to hunt some species into extinction. Their ability to outcompete other early hominids for food led to the extinction of those species, including Neanderthals.
