My speculation as to why the rate of new species increased 65 million years ago, and continues at a higher rate -ever- since, is that something changed in the geography of earth, something drastically changed from a single big “pangea” continent to the multiple continents and islands we have now. Smaller, separated geographic regions would make for a more diverse species mix.
And we’re going to be wiped out by an Obamarite.
