A New Thermodynamics Theory of the Origin of Life | Quanta Magazine

- Information Theory And The Origin of Life The nature of information places important new limits on how the first living things must have emerged - life is fundamentally a phenomenon of information ... a state that differs from maximum entropy by a deficit that is equivalent to the information they contain. A characteristic feature of living systems is that they can maintain this difference indefinitely.

Dienekes’ Anthropology Blog: Bottleneck in human Y-chromosomes in the last 10,000 years. - Most human mythologies contain stories of "first men" and eponymous founders of nations; these were often ridiculed in recent times as invented stories whose purpose was to engender social cohesion through a story of shared descent. But, now it seems that these stories were at least in part true, and such ultra-prolific patriarchs do indeed stand at the beginning of many later lines of descent.

David Ulansky: Mass Extinction Underway
Journal of Cosmology - The Next Mass Extinction: Human Evolution or Human Eradication Andrew R. Jones, Ph.D.
List of extinction events - Wikipedia
Holocene extinction - Wikipedia
Discovery of a new mass extinction ... a major extinction of life 233 million years ago that triggered the dinosaur takeover of the world. The crisis has been called the Carnian Pluvial Episode ... The cause was most likely massive volcanic eruptions in the Wrangellia Province of western Canada, where huge volumes of volcanic basalt was poured out and forms much of the western coast of North America.

Artificial intelligence finds surprising patterns in Earth's biological mass extinctions ... used machine learning to examine the co-occurrence of fossil species and found that radiations and extinctions are rarely connected, and thus mass extinctions likely rarely cause radiations of a comparable scale.

The Death of the Dinosaurs - NYTimes.com - In the past few decades, as a consensus has calcified around the asteroid theory, perhaps no one has endured more ostracism than Dr. Keller, who has long pointed to enormous floods of lava in India, called the Deccan Traps, as an alternate explanation for the demise of three-quarters of all animal and plant life. But her sojourn in the academic wilderness may be ending as more evidence emerges for the deadliness of these volcanoes
