Ask us anything! by mit_catastrophe Thank you for the AMA! You said 3/4 species went extinct in the past events, does that mean there were so many species that we didn't even see? Any estimate on the number? If a mass extinction happens in 2100, which species are in the line for extinction? Thanks! Permalink 1
