Description
This video series is unfortunately the most important one on my channel. It presents, in chronological order, the extinction of species during the Holocene, what is commonly called the sixth mass extinction, but which should more accurately be described as the first mass extermination in the history of this planet.
Here is the thirty-one part, covering 2000 years.
