What is the event of extinction of the Holocene?

The Holocene extinction event is a term used to refer to the ongoing extinction of numerous animal species due to human activities. It is named after the geological period of the Holocene, which began 11,550 years ago (about 9600 BC) and continues to the present. The extinction of the Holocene has excluded between 20,000 and several hundred thousand species over the last 12,000 years. The extinction of the Holocene consists of two main pulses: one pulse 13,000 to 9,000 years ago, at the end of the last glacial period, when most of the Megafauna Pleistocene disappeared and a recent pulse, starting with Holocei first and first exposed to those that were first exposed. Include several species of mammoths, The Dire Wolf, Bear with Short Face, Cave Lion, Bear Caves, Cave Hyena, Dwarf elephants, Giant Swan, Giant Ratodon, American CheeseMany other animals. Most scientists agree that these animals disappeared because of human activity, because many of them disappear within 1,000 years from the introduction of people into the area. Some of the most accurate findings come from evidence in Australia and America, which have been relatively isolated until the arrival of people.

The animals that have recently died out during the last pulse of the Holocene extinction include Dodo, Aurochs (a large type of horned cattle), Tarpan (small horse), Tasmanian tiger, Quagga (related zebras), Steller's Sea's (related to Manatee and Dugong), Giand Aye-Oe (Primate), Big Auk Atlantic), pigeon passengers (with about five billion birds in North America, was formerly one of the most numerous birds on the planet), Golden Ropuch of Costa Rica and many others. Biologists agree that the current level of extinction of animal species is several hundred times higher than a typical background level.
