Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'extinction'

The permanent disappearance of a species, often resulting from environmental changes, habitat destruction, overhunting, or catastrophic events. Throughout Earth's history, five major mass extinction events have eliminated vast percentages of life forms, with the current human-influenced Holocene extinction occurring at an accelerated rate. In alternate history scenarios, extinction events are frequently modified, delayed, or prevented to explore how continued existence of certain species might have altered ecological systems and human development.
