natural disasters do not necessarily imply an inatimate system. Its just easier to count metorites, earthquakes, floods etc as natural disasters that happen at once. THings like global warming, iceages, mass extinctions, plagues are still natural disasters, just ones that happen over a longer period of time. Natuaral to me means not human induced.

The mass extinction occurred at the Cretaceous-Tertiary Stratigraphic Boundary, 65 million years ago.

The end Permian extinction was worse - people just know more about the Cretaceous because it killer off those "terrible lizards". All in all the Cretaceous only killed about half the species on the planet.

The plague could be considered human induced, due to the fact it was our disregard for sanitation that spread it.

Yeah...but the virus itself was not man made. It wasn't like it was a bioweapon. Good point, but its not enough to convince me.

That's a lot of Dead people.

natural disaster: the evolution of man,
occurence: 2mil-400k years ago
casualties: all that ails the planet now
causes: evolutionary views/religious views

edit:
natural - all that is in nature....people are natural so therefore human induced things are natural occurences......my my humans are indeed so arrogant.

In terms of death rate, wouldn't the Spanish Influenza be the worst?
