Think about the thing in terms of mass. Mass of the earth versus mass
of humans and their artifacts from the beginning of homo (whatever
species you care to name) to present. Totally unbalanced in favour of
the earth, isn't it?

Not sure that's the way to think about it, Cyli. If you think in
terms of mass, an elephant vastly outweighs a rifle slug about the
size of your thumb, which can kill it.

Then too, ants (or so I've heard) comprise something like 10% of the Earth's
animal biomass.

Hm.......
