What is the point of telling the story of how the Great Auk went extinct? O Although Darwin did not think extinction occurred, the Great Auk story shows that species actually can go extinct. O Although Darwin thought extinction is caused by great catastrophes unlike anything humans have ever experienced, the Auk story shows that humans (not great catastrophes) can cause extinction. O Although Darwin thought extinction is a very slow, natural process, the inevitable side-effect of speciation, the Great Auk story shows that extinction can also occur quickly, the result of human actions. In a way, humans act as a "catastrophe."

Evolutionary lineages

An evolutionary lineage is a series of populations of organisms that descend from a common ancestor. Each species in the lineage is the direct consequence of evolutionary change from a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is generally used to display lineages visually. Lineages are components of the phylogenetic tree of life. Molecular systematics procedures are widely used to predict lineages.
