What an incredibly depressing time to be alive.

It is quite the achievement for just one species.

We've got a long way to go if we're hoping to catch up to cyanobacteria [1]. It's a rather dubious distinction though.

True enough. But that was more than one species. And it took them a lot longer, about two billion years.

We might actually be getting help from our feline friends on this one. Keep your murderkitties indoors.
