The showdown is upon us. On one side, three billion years of evolution, tens of millions of species, an extraordinarily complex and diverse ecosystem.

Niles Eldredge is chair of the Committee on Evolutionary Processes and curator of the Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History.
