Have you been to a football game lately? Think of the last time you were in an arena that seated fifty or even a hundred thousand people. That many people can make a lot of noise, but of course only represent a tiny piece of humanity today.

Our closest living relative is slipping off the precipice; their extinction in our own lifetime is a real possibility.
