Summary
A unique perspective on how our living planet has evolved and adapted, from early organisms to life in the current Anthropocene.
It is difficult to conceive of the vast scale of the history of life on Earth, from the very first living organisms sparking into life in hydrothermal deep-sea vents to the dizzying diversity of life today. The evolution of life is a sweeping epic of a tale, with twists and turns, surprising heroes and unlikely survivors. The Earth beautifully distils this complex story into a meaningful scale. In taking a closer look at 47 carefully selected organisms over 15 periods in our planetary history, this audiobook tells the whole story of life on Earth and the interconnectedness that unites us through our ecosystems and planetary history.
Prepare to be confounded by the ingenuity of evolutionary biologies, humbled by our own brief part in this epic history and disquieted by our disproportionate impact on the world we call home.
