Animal Biodiversity is the Highest Ever

Despite extinctions the number of animal types in the world is at an all-time high. This is due to a proliferation over the last 200 million years.

This is absolutely incorrect. People only stopped wandering and took up crop farming 10,000 years ago. We have not had time to genetically adapt.

Mind you they did do a lot of manual labor, many working 12 hour days. If you burn a high amount of calories you can eat what you wa
