In this way, the film clearly shows how intimately economics and politics are tied together. Even the money from the European Union and the World Bank wasn't arriving in this area -- which has been quite poor and destitute for many decades, if not for centuries -- until after it was realized that there was profit to be made from the fish in the lake.

A survey of scientific responses to extinction at the present moment is fairly unambiguous, however. Paleontologist James Kirchner calculated in 2002 that extinction rates could more or less be statistically inferred from the fossil record, and uses this to quantify what he terms "evolutionary speed limits," which is to say the rate at which the Darwinian process of natural selection (which depends upon the effective extinction of species insofar as
