How many times has Earth experienced an extinction event? The next spark of the big event

The history of the Earth has been marked by five major extinction events. With the current extinction rate 1000 times higher than normal, have humans caused the 6th mass extinction? The changes our species has wrought on Earth, its ecology and its climate have led geologists to compare us to a geological force similar to volcanoes, and to call this era the Anthropocene period ("Anthropo" meaning "human"). Will it witness the greatest loss of biodiversity ever seen? What does rapid climate change mean for the future of humanity? Experts explore these questions in this documentary.
