Abstract (EN):
We conducted a descriptive study of raising conceptions of students of the last year of high
school about mass extinctions. It is mentioned that the extinctions, particularly the Pleistocene extinction
and biodiversity loss in Holocene, result from strong anthropogenic causes, being less mentioned natural
causes or evolution. On the other hand, it was important to know the position of students related to
catastrophic or gradual causes
