Humans Caused a Major Shift in Earth’s Ecosystems 6,000 Years Ago.


"We upended a pattern held for 300 million years, and that may mean we are causing a new phase in global evolution... the ramifications could be huge, heralding a new stage in global evolution as dramatic as the shift from single-celled microbes to complex organisms. However, unfortunately the extinction rate in mammals is fifty-five times higher than before humans existed."


Question: In what ways has human presence affected distribution of all other life on earth since 6,000 ago?
