And no, that headline does not refer to the mainstream media (this time). The UN believes that humans are on the verge of causing mass extinctions.

OSLO (Reuters) - Humans are responsible for the worst spate of extinctions since the dinosaurs and must make unprecedented extra efforts to reach a goal of slowing losses by 2010, a U.N. report said on Monday.

I am not denying that humans sometimes cause animals to become extinct. Humans have been causing animals to become extinct since we began hunting. Other animals cause the extinction of other animals. This is not something we necessarily can or should try to curb. The people who strongly believe in evolution also seem to be people who worry about extinction. Strange that the "survival of the fittest" does not seems to include Man.
