How did George Cuvier accounts for the extinctions in nature
Extinctions never occur there are unexplored parts of the globe where the organisms that appears to have gone extinct may still live
Extinctions occur when the slow adaptations of the organisms overtime to their environment are not quick enough to help them respond to changing conditions
Extinctions occur at random, they do not reflect God’s will
Extinctions occur due to the catastrophic events
