Of all the species that have existed on Earth 99 percent have gone extinct and even fewer make it into the fossil record and a very small fraction of those that fossilize are actually found even partially complete. Even if all of them did fossilize many would be too hard dig for many of them. And also it is highly unlikely that most would be found complete‚ due to the number of natural disasters and processes that have happened from the animal’s death to whenever it is discovered.

Endangered Languages CONOR MCDONOUGH QUINN Languages that are threatened with the loss of natural generational transmission are referred to as endangered languages. Language endangerment generally occurs in the later stages of language shift‚ that is‚ when a speech community moves away from their earlier variety‚ dialect‚ or language to a new one or new set thereof (Fishman‚ 1991). While the processes of endangerment and extinction have likely been constant throughout the history of human language
