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.
