Product Description
Some 99.9 percent of all species that have ever lived on earth are now extinct. While cataclysmic events have pruned the tree of life, extinction also opens the door for new species to emerge and thrive. Extinction explores the causes of the mass extinctions that have occurred over the lift of the planet - and takes us to the sources of extinctions happening today. In doing so, it confronts a frightening notion: are humans causing the next mass extinction - the sixth in the history of life on earth? If so, what does evolutionary theory predict for the world that is left to our descendants? The Evolution series' goals are to heighten public understanding of evolution and how it works, to dispel common misunderstandings about the process, and to illuminate why it is relevant to all of us.
