Description
This video series is unfortunately the most important one on my channel. It presents, in chronological order, the extinction of species during the Holocene, what is commonly called the sixth mass extinction, but which should more accurately be described as the first mass extermination in the history of this planet.
Here is the nineteenth part, covering 1880 years.
For this series, I used the amazing voice from ElevenLabs (text written by myself). If you prefer this voice, you can support me by subscribing to my channel, as it comes with a higher cost and limited characters! Thank you to everyone who can help me improve the quality of my videos.
