Whilst it's been misreported, the findings are still quite intriguing and appear to change a general understanding - or at least mine. As I read it, 9 out of 10 existing animal species arose in the last 200,000 years. (Note, not at the same time 200,000 years ago.)
That's quite amazing really, but I'm still trying to understand why I think that.
And, btw, it also says quite conclusively that there was no extinction event 4,500 years ago.
