作者並不否認我們麵臨又一次滅絕大潮,但認為接著而來的很有可能是又一次物種大爆發。很多觀點有道理,例如生態環境始終是動態的,沒理由認為現在這個狀態是最完美的,多一個物種則肥,少一個物種則瘦;再例如人類活動加速瞭來自不同地理環境的物種接觸,會刺激新物種的齣現。The Sixth Extinction之後看到這本結論截然相反的書,真的很有意思,用The Sixth Extinction作者Elizabeth Kolbert的話來說,"improbably hopeful"。

Human activity has irreversibly changed the natural environment. But the news isn't all bad.
It's accepted wisdom today that human beings have permanently damaged the natural world, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change. But in Inheritors of the Earth, biologist Chris Thomas shows that this obscures a more hopeful truth--we're also helping nature grow and change. Human cities and mass agriculture have created new places for enterprising animals and plants to live, and our activities have stimulated evolutionary change in virtually every population of living species. Most remarkably, Thomas shows, humans may well have raised the rate at which new species are formed to the highest level in the history of our planet.
Drawing on the success stories of diverse species, from the ochre-colored comma butterfly to the New Zealand pukeko, Thomas overturns the accepted story of declining biodiversity on Earth. In so doing, he questions why we resist new forms of life, and why we see ourselves as unnatural. Ultimately, he suggests that if life on Earth can recover from the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, it can survive the onslaughts of the technological age. This eye-opening book is a profound reexamination of the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
