Mass extinctions are

Dumbass, extinction does not cause evolution.

Um yes it can.  If you really knew what extinction meant, in ecological
terms, you'd understand why.

Extinct means they don't
exist anymore.

Oh thank you for pointing out the obvious.
Now, take a few deep breaths and think for a moment.
Think about what happens to the species in a habitat that are competing
against/preyed upon/able to extend their ranges etc. due to OTHER species
going extinct.
What do you think happens to them?

Whadda dumb ass you are.

We were counting on you to notice.
