I've often wondered why scientists (or at least some) worry so much about extinctions, et al. After all, hasn't extinction been a part of the evolutionary process all along?

Scientists worry about extinction because they're jobs tend to get tied to one species, if that species goes away they'll need to find real work.

Extinction by natural selection, climate change or event can not be stopped. Over fishing to the point of extinction can be avoided.

Speaking of fish and extinction, how in the heck has the McFish Fillet survived this long? Does anyone really eat that thing?
