I figured there would be no recovery from a mass extinction, so maybe this is news.

There’s been recovery from each of the mass extinctions — otherwise we wouldn’t be here, our ancestors having died — but this study is just gradualist nonsense. The P-T boundary is narrow like the K-T boundary, has iridium (which is not as strong as at the K-T boundary, but much stronger than volcanism can produce), and whole taxa just stopped at the boundary, no “five or six milllion year” period BS as in the article.
