one single specie, homo sapiens, account for 90% of the total biomass of all mammals on earth, and 95% of the biomass of all land mammals of any kind.
earth is rapidly approaching a monocultural ecosystem. only a handful of times in earth’s history did a single animal species so dominate the global macro ecosystem. in each of those occasions the dominant animal was a disaster species that happen to survive a major mass extinction event that killed the majority of animal species on land and sea. so the survives specie rapidly fanned out to occupy as many of the vacated ecological niches. within a short time, the earth became largely a monoculture in which fossils of one species represents most, at times nearly all, animal fossils found around the world. in each of these occasions the disaster specie itself then either collapsed or went extinct within a geological short period.
