A (very) short history of life on Earth : 4.6 billion years in 12 chapters
Gee, Henry, 1962-2021
Books
For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place - covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens, life has persisted, undaunted. This book presents an enlightening story of survival, of persistence, illuminating the delicate balance within which life has always existed, and continues to exist today.
