The human species came into being at
the time of the greatest biological diversity in the history of the Earth.
Today, as human populations expand and alter the natural environment, they are
reducing biological diversity to its lowest level. The ultimate consequences of
this biological reduction are beyond calculation, but they are certain to be
harmful. That, in essence, is the biodiversity crisis. The history of global diversity can be summarized as follows: after the initial flowering of multi-cellular animals, there was a swift rise in the number of species in early Paleozoic times (between 600 and 430 million years ago), then plate-alike stagnation for the remaining 200 million years of the Paleozoic era, and finally a slow but steady climb through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras to diversity’s all-time high. This his A. It was the most famous devastating extinction episode in history. B. It is the most devastating extinction episode up until now. C. It was less devastating to species diversity than is the current biodiversity crisis. D. The dinosaurs comprised the great majority of species that perished during the crisis. 更多"{{B}}TEXT A{{/B}} The h"的相关试题: [单项选择] {{B}}TEXT A{{/B}}
