Im doing a extra credit research question paper, and the question is what is the history of mass extinction
 
We are living in a period of mass extinction. Most of present extinctions are caused by man.

Example include the passenger pigeon and the dodo.

The really big mass extinctions
end of Eocene
end of Cretaceous (end of dinosaurs, meteor impact)
end of Permian (95% of life wiped out)

Hope this gives you a start.
