Think of it... how many species go extinct each year? How many have gone extinct since the beginning of time? If species continue to go extinct, and no new ones "evolve", then eventually, all that will be left are people, cows, and chickens.

And then one good virus destroys our food animals and we go extinct. You folks better hope to your God that Darwin wasn't wrong.
there have been a great number of times when the diversity of species has bottlenecked.

the Cretaceous/Tertiary extinction reduced biomass by about 65% and biodiversity by 75%, and the Permo/Triassic extinction was even worse at 80% of biomass and 90% of biodiversity.

notice that biodiversity always dips more than biomass which is because the species least adapted to the changing environment go extinct wheras the remainder suffer but survive. and regardless of this new species emerge to fill ecological niches and biomass and biodiversity recover.............. until next time.
