Question

The fossil record has been used to detect mass extinctions in Earth's past. Some scientists argue we are in a current mass extinction as well, caused by the activities of humans after industrialization. If in the far future, scientists looked at the fossil record to gather evidence on our current time period, which patterns would show evidence of a mass extinction linked to human activity? Select all that apply. Fossilization is no longer possible, so they would not find any fossils. Fossils of many different taxa will have disappeared after evidence of human activity. More than 50% of species will have gone extinct within a one-million-year time period. \(?\) Fossils of many different taxa will have appeared after evidence of human activity.
