Lol, never said anything to the contrary, my dear friend!
Everything what I compared humans to has a precedence in the wild (we arent that unique), which ended in a catastrophe of sorts (and a rebound an eon later).
Are you suggesting infestation can be a non-life phenomenon? I am def intrigued! (Even in sci-fo terms!)
Ofc it's part of the natural selection!
As said, an infestation, I never argued if justified or not (whatever even means to be "justified" to lower biodiversity like humans do).
However we are in the midst of a mass eviction event.
Yes, exactly, and this can also be an infestation when the "invasive species" (human term) spreads and kills the existing local species bcs the ecosystem isn't balanced. This usually negatively effects biodiversity.
Like rats killed entire species when were introduced to New Zealand and similar secluded islands.
