In the
last post we shortly discussed a new research regarding the sixth extinction episode. In the current one we briefly discuss a newly published book about the 5 previous mass extinction episodes called “The Ends of the World”.
The book is kind of an enquiry of the conditions and causes of the Big Five mass extinctions. But it’s about much more than the technical details. The book argues for a common denominator between past extinctions and the current one, that society must take notice of. And so must we.
