If there's one thing we should know by now, it is that this ecosystem as a whole has been changing since long before we got here, and will continue to change long after we are gone. The number of plants and animals that have come and gone on this planet are inumerable, and we had nothing to do with the vast majority of them.

I am reminded of a quote:

"A person is smart, people are stupid." Isn't that exactly how we all are?
