Technically even Stalin used the committees. That's why they called it Soviet.

Here's a graph of the extinction data.
When I look at those spikes, it looks like there are a bunch of things that randomly want to kill us (like asteroids, gamma ray bursts, sudden changes in sea level, whatever, a bunch of other things), and they happen somewhat randomly with a normal distribution. Because of the way a normal distribution works, it will have some periodicity (ie, on average an asteroid will hit every X years, but with a deviation).
There is nothing special about 37 million years. That is the rough analysis, and I saw nothing in the paper to convince me that is wrong.
