Dinosaurs were majestic. Kings and queens of their jungles. Undisputed alphas of the animal kingdom. And then the impact came.

Hahha that footnote is powerfully ominous and i love it. With as much as I've thought of humans as destructive, i never made the link that WE will be the next Asteroid Event. Great article! The insect section reminds me of "peak soil," and how even if we weren't killing off the insects, we've eroded much of their soil habitat. Great work - enjoyed it.
