No nikes before, and more than 99% of all species that every lived are now extinct, and more than 500 species have become extinct in the past 100 years do to mans affects on their habitats.

Just saying. The earth will be here long after man has gone, whether that is next year or in a thousand years.

And how long it took for that many to become extinct before we took over.

We can't prevent the planet from dying. That's what planets do. They die. But we can make the planet as livable as possible, for as long as possible, while we are inhabiting it. Or at least try to contribute as little as possible to its inevitable self-destruction.

That would require taking drastic changes to control population, and that is unlikely to happen.
