...cataclysm of 248 million years ago, when up to 90% of all marine species died; and the late-Cretaceous event 65 million years ago, which saw the destruction of the dinosaurs and many other groups of species, including the microscopic organisms responsible for creation of the white cliffs of Dover. The effects on evolution were profound. "In wiping the slate clean," says Muller, "these catastrophes opened up ecological niches and prevented stagnation...

...these ailments are related to a third--the absence of time--which, finally, may be the modern ailment that most needs curing.
