About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill. And not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.

@Sheril TWW: While you may visit other places, other realms, this is the people’s world for as long as you can hold it. *Even closer for us are the two glacial periods we survived while migrating to everywhere. I see us mitigating the massive amount pollution caused by industry and surviving the atmospheric and oceanic turmoil here at the end of this interglacial period. It will be a more advanced and cohesive people that face the next glacial period. Strength in Kindness. OWOP
