Study Links Extinction Cycles to Changes in Earth’s Orbit and Tilt.

This article is about how the earths orbit can affect different species of mammals. The article focuses on the effects of the orbit effect the mice' population. It says that when the orbit is more circular the cycle is at its peak for the mice. There are also smaller cycles that the mice go through dealing with the tilt in the earth's axis. There are scientists that have found evidence that the earth's rotation can have nothing to do with species turnover too. The findings discussed in this article are very controversial.
This article is definitely related to physics because it deals with the earth's rotation and things involving movement in our universe. I think that these movements are a big part of physics, and therefore this article really deals with a lot of physics. This article can specifically be related to kinetics because of the earth's movements discussed.
I personally don't think that these findings will affect me much. Although they could have very important uses for archeologists and people who study biology.
