That may be true, but in the case of Easter Island all we will ever get is an educational guess as to what happened.
We believe Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of homosexual behavior. But thats just a guess, I guess we never learned from that. We dont know what happened to Atlantis or if it even existed. History I love to learn from but educated guesses arent history.
Global warming is an educated guess that half the scientists cant agree on and thats happening now.

Jared Diamond mentions this in 'collapse'. By itself, it adds to his argument, but collectively, his book arrives at biased environmentalist type conclusions. Not recommended.
But 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' is a great read.

Whada trying to do, drive me to drink. ha ha. I'll take a shot at the third question. 1 nanameter to 1 light year. I think that could cover at least some species.
