In terms of nearly every other large animal species, we humans have been perpetrating a mass extinction event for the last 10,000 years. In evolutionary terms this timescale is practically as sudden as the K2 event event that accounted for the dinosaurs.
Our turn will come.I don’t want to be gloomy, but Yellowstone could blow, an asteroid could hit. Or as something more mundane like the AIDS virus managing to mutate so it could be transmitted like malaria. Of course, the likelihood of these things happening in the next couple of hundred years is not enough to make any rational person start stockpiling bully beef and rice, but it does put life’s petty irritations into perspective!
