Ah! Thank you. Delighted to learn that mammowhopperus Woolinsky
didn't pass
on for the same reasons as the épeé-toothed tiger.

The last ice age began with skinny monkeys, mammoths, mastodons,
smilodons (aka sabretooth), dire wolves, and the giant cave bear.

The last ice age ended with obese humans.

The last ice age hasnt ended yet, this is just an interglacial period.

It has ended (if indeed it ever started) for the mammowhopperus
Woolinsky, smilodons (aka sabretooth) and the épeé-toothed tiger.
Sad. Sniff.

They are only a small contribution to the large number of extinct
species.
After each Global cataclysmic event, somehow a bunch of new species
apear
in the geological record. Darwin's little fairy tale was never true,
but
today there is hard physical evidence unavailable 150 years ago.

You do realize that biologists have not believed in classic "evolution"
for decades, correct? That has been replaced with "adaptive radiation".
You are a biologist, right?

I am an electrical engineer. I am aware that some biologists have modified
their understanding of species, but biology as taught in US public schools
may as well be based on Scopes' monkey ignorance.
