how do we determine a species has gone extinct? You’re telling me you looked EVERYWHERE?
In: 0
We’ve looked everywhere that species has been seen before. If it turns out that somehow we missed some, scientists will say so and correct their statements. But in most cases, its pretty easy to check all the places that species has ever been seen before, and confirm there are none left.
Science is about making theories based on all the information you have available, and if new information shows up, adjusting those theories in response.
