Humans beings have been here for 120,000 years ago to present. People depend on other species for many things such as food, fuel and natural fibres, they all come from other species. Many medicines have come from wild plants and animals. There are probably many other medicines in plants that haven't been found yet. Variety of life on Earth is called Biodiversity. x

What was aitchison's Criteria for language?
There are four criteria for language. Displacement is the ability for humans to refer and recall events that are not currently happening. Semanticity is relating the word to aspects of the world around. Structure dependence refers to the language as being characterized by a series of symbols that don't resemble any given object. Creativity is the ability to produce and understand an infinite number of novel utterances. Aitchison believed these four criteria for language were particular for the human species, and is what separates humans from other animal species.

How are dogs connected to humans?
For thousands of years, humans and dogs have derived benefit from the relationship with each other. Because both humans and canines have a similar nature for close family or pack relationships, they have developed the ability to include each other in those relationships. Some of the ways that this works for both species are a dogs ability to learn to perform jobs for humans based on their canine instincts, jobs that give them exercise and satisfaction and humans derive the benefit from the use of these abilities; both canine and human nature requires companionship and each can provide the other with reliable companionship to the advantage to humans that dogs only need their basic needs met to be faithful companions who don't judge or have issue with humans' frailties.

we the humans Remember that extinction is the rule not the exception. While humans currently play a part in the extinction of a number of species climate change, competition with other animals are primary factors in extinction. Other factors are a diminished gene pool and the inability to adapt to disease.

What is the Sixth Extinction Theory?
According to theory, the extinction started when humans began to disperse across the globe about 100,000 years ago. As population increased, the need for food also increased. As a result people began using agriculture. While humans move across the earth as predators, other species become their prey. The Sixth Extinction Theory says that while people evolve, the world is dying- because our evolution is draining the world's resources. Therefore, the result is that humans are slowly destroying the Earth and we are the cause of The Sixth Extinction.

What affect do humans have on speciation?
As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.
What is background extinctions?
A background extinction is the continuous extinction of individual species caused by climate change, disease, loss of habitat, and competitive disadvantages against other species. Background extinctions occur at a slow rate over time, affecting only a few species at one time.
Do dolphins face extinction?

What are some positive things on species extinction?
