ScanSolve AI Answer
The "Sixth Extinction" refers to the ongoing, rapid loss of biodiversity on Earth today. It differs from previous mass extinctions primarily because it is caused by human activities, such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation of resources, whereas previous extinctions were driven by natural geological or astronomical events.
