1598 illustration of settlers hunting birds and tortoises in Mauritius.

This article is a list of biological species, subspecies, and evolutionary significant units that are known to have become extinct during the Holocene, the current geologic epoch, ordered by their known or approximate date of disappearance from oldest to most recent.

The Holocene is considered to have started with the Holocene glacial retreat around 11650 years Before Present (c.9700 BC). It is characterized by a general trend towards global warming, the expansion of anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) to all emerged land masses, the appearance of agriculture and animal husbandry, and a reduction in global biodiversity. The latter, dubbed the sixth mass extinction in Earth history, is largely attributed to increased human population and activity, and may have started already during the preceding Pleistocene epoch with the demise of the Pleistocene megafauna.

The following list is incomplete by necessity, since the majority of extinctions are thought to be undocumented, and for many others there isn't a definitive, widely accepted last, or most recent record. According to the species-area theory, the present rate of extinction may be up to 140,000 species per year.[1]

Notes

[edit]
  1. Remains and historical references to an unidentified squirrel in Ukraine may extend survival up to the 20th century.[20]
  2. Ancient DNA studies indicate that the giant Cape zebra is not a separate species, but a distinct lineage of the plains zebra (E. quagga).[24]
  3. Attributed to Struthio asiaticus in this source, but this name should be limited to remains from Pleistocene India.[30]
  4. Date obtained from carbonaceous clay near Palaeoloxodon remains rather than bone.[35]
  5. A datation to 4170–4050 BC is uncalibrated and the remains could be older.[42]
  6. A datation to 3023–2809 BCE is considered dubious.[58]
  7. Possible synonym of Equus africanus atlanticus.[61]
  8. In Yukon.[63] Remains of either B. priscus or B. bonasus were dated in the Angara River basin to 2550–2440 BC,[64] and a small bison persisted in the Baikal region until the 7th to 10th century AD (considered B. priscus by Boeskorov[65] and B. bonasus by Sipko[66]). A date of 1130–1060 BC near the Oyat river is not calibrated and the remains could be older.[67]
  9. This dating is regarded as "tentative". Claims of even later survival to 1470–1445 BCE are based on interpretations of a painting from the Egyptian Tomb of Rekhmire apparently depicting an adult dwarf elephant.[76]
  10. Domestic descendants survive in captivity and as feral populations.[81]
  11. Survival to 1350 CE reported by Turvey is not confirmed.
  12. Traditionally considered the same as B. p. primigenius on morphological grounds, but revealed to be genetically distinct. Domestic hybrid descendants survive in China, particularly in Tibet, Chamdo, and Yushu.[90] It is likely that many remains from northern China that have been identified as bison[91] or domestic cattle actually belong to aurochs and that it survived for longer than assumed. The anonymous author of the Classic of Poetry (11th–7th century BCE) seems aware of the aurochs's existence.[92]
  13. It was suggested that the Syrian elephant was introduced by humans in Mesopotamia, which would not make it a valid subspecies.[108]
  14. Survival to c. 1350 CE mentioned by Turvey not confirmed.
  15. A. corsicanus was originally applied to remains from Corsica and A. similis to Sardinia. It was later recognized that A. corsicanus existed in the early Pleistocene of both islands, and A. similis in the late Pleistocene-Holocene, as seen in Moncunill-Sole et al. (2016).
  16. Claimed survival until 1774 CE in Tavolara Island is based on the mention of 'giant burrow-making rats' by Francesco Cetti.
  17. It is unconfirmed if remains of Equus sp. found in Bolshoy Baranov Cape and dated to 701–900 CE belong to this taxon (Boeskorov, 2006).
  18. Historical records mention gibbons being caught near Chang'an until the 10th century, and living in Shaanxi province until the 18th century.[122]
  19. Indirectly dated (Mead et al., 2002).
  20. Some experts don't recognize the existence of separate subspecies in Loxodonta africana.[145]
  21. Survival until Polynesian arrival c. 1350 not confirmed (Turvey, 2009).
  22. A commonly cited 1658 account by Étienne de Flacourt could as well be of Mullerornis, or based on second-hand reports of fossil eggs.[159]
  23. Distinct lineage once found all over the North and South Islands, as evidenced by ancient DNA studies on subfossil remains.[173] The subantarctic lineage of the New Zealand sea lion later colonised Stewart Island and the southeastern coast of the South Island from the Auckland and Campbell Islands.[172]
  24. "307±85 yr BP (95.4% AD 1451–1952)" (Rawlence & Cooper, 2013)
  25. In Tierra del Fuego. Last dated in the continent in 1232–1397 (Prevosti et al., 2015).
  26. "370±38yr BP (95.4% AD 1464–1637)" (Rawlence & Cooper, 2013)
  27. In Poland. Unconfirmed remains and sightings might extend survival in Bulgaria and Russia until the 18th century.[203][204]
  28. A 1976 sighting is unconfirmed (Burney et al., 2004).
  29. In Réunion. Last recorded on Mauritius in 1700.[176]
  30. Extinct in the main island by 1735, but living tortoises of unknown species were found in Île Ronde, Mauritius in 1844 (Cheke & Hume, 2009).
  31. A 1779 painting by Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton could depict this species in captivity (Hume, 2017).
  32. Dubious subspecies, based on a single neurocranium that was destroyed in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.[243]
  33. Unconfirmed reports in 1816 (IUCN).
  34. A clone of the last individual was successfully produced in 2003, but died several minutes after birth due to a lung defect.[259]
  35. Unconfirmed sighting in 2005 (Hume).
  36. In captivity. Unconfirmed wild sighting in 2018. https://www.theworldofchinese.com/2019/02/the-search-for-the-river-goddess/
  37. In captivity. Last wild individual died in 1994 (IUCN).
  38. An unconfirmed sighting and recorded call took place in 2021.[284]
  39. Possible sightings. Otherwise known from subfossil remains (IUCN).
