The answer arrived in 2002 from a large team of biologists and palaeontologists writing in Nature: we almost certainly are. If we continue at the current rate of destruction, about three-quarters of all living species will be lost within the next few centuries. Wake and Vredenburg list the proximate causes: 'human population growth, habitat conversion, global warming and its consequences, impacts of exotic species, new pathogens, etc.' What most of these causes have in common isn't just that they are the result of human activity, but that they have been going on for a very long time.
