In the Walking with Monsters program, it is said that all living lystrosaurus made up 50% of living organisms on earth after the permian extinction? If this is accurate than it should be mentioned here. this is the video, mentioned at around 5:36 --Philip Laurence 19:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
I have just seen a repeat of a BBC Horizon program, in which at the end it mentions that this animal was the ancestor of all mammals, including humans. If it is generally believed by scientists, that this is true, I think this page should mention it. --Jason404 15:07, 06 July 2007 (GMT)

- Only tme one organsosm has dominated::
The article states "It is the only time a single species of animal dominated the Earth to such a degree". What about Homo sapiens? I'm guessing that we now outnumber these animals by an order of magnitude.138.77.2.131 01:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Human species
The Human species in terms of number is very small when compared to "all living organisms". Regarding the Lystrosaurus, it's very feasible if you know the size of devastation which occured at the end of the pernian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marco123456789 (talk • contribs) 18:13, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genus vs. species
"This genus survived the end-Permian mass extinction and went on to thrive, becoming the most common group of terrestrial vertebrates during the Early Triassic. It is the only time a single species of animal dominated the Earth to such a degree."
Should the latter be "genus" as well? The rest of the article treats Lystrosaurus as a genus, not a species. B.Bryant (talk) 07:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
