So, let me guess...

It's no big loss if a species goes extinct, because a new one will evolve to
fill the ecological nice that has been created by the new circumstances.
Furthermore, good ridance to old baggage.

That old useless species that went extinct just didn't have it to survive
anyhow. The new condition on our planet is industrial economics and you'd
just better evolve to fit in. Learn to turn a buck or parasitize industrial
society. Otherwise, tough luck.

Do I have it right?
