Yuval Noah Harari Quotes
The Americas Were A Great Laboratory Of Evolutionary Experimentation, A Place Where Animals And Plants Unknown In Africa And Asia Had Evolved And Thrived. But No Longer. Within 2,000 Years Of The Sapiens' Arrival, Most Of These Unique Species Were Gone. According To Current Estimates, Within That Short Interval, North America Lost Thirty-four Out Of Its Forty-seven Genera Of Large Mammals. South America Lost Fifty Out Of Sixty. The Sabre-tooth Cats, After Flourishing For More Than 30 Million Years, Disappeared, And So Did The Giant Ground Sloths, The Oversized Lions, Native American Horses, Native American Camels, The Giant Rodents And The Mammoths. Thousands Of Species Of Smaller Mammals, Reptiles, Birds And Even Insects And Parasites Also Became Extinct (when The Mammoths Died Out, All Species Of Mammoth Ticks Followed Them To Oblivion).
