Changing Face of Earth
Journal Title: Voyager - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Economy being the basis of human survival, the earth is relentlessly explored and exploited for natural resources with a consequential explosion of human race so as to endanger its own existence as well of other co-existing species. In the course of evolution, earth underwent changes with an extinction of its various life forms at mass level from time to time making a way for a highly evolved human species. Scientists are of the opinion that since the appearance of life approximately four million years ago, the earth faced five major mass extinctions and is heading towards sixth extinction which is far intense and eliminating the species in vast numbers at a faster pace. The humans are the ones responsible to expedite and create this havoc due to their ruthless action against nature, thereby disturbing nature’s homeostasis. By the time it could be realised that nature is a self healing and self sustaining entity, the arrow was already set out of quiver never to return back. As a result, life itself is under a great threat and life forms which would be able to adapt to this tilting scenario will be favoured by nature.
