Question of the Day

Am mildly confused this morning. Evolutionary theory says that species adapt to change, that some survive and some die through natural selection, or what one of Darwin's contemporaries, Herbert Spencer coined "survival of the fittest". So, why should we be so exceptionally worried that the list of endangered species has grown? Isn't that evolution in action?

Discuss.
