Earth's Great Extinctions

In "Earth's Great Extinctions," geologist Rachel Phillips explores the planet's five major mass extinction events, each dramatically altering the course of life on Earth. Through six enlightening lectures, she examines the causes of these extinctions, the recovery of life that followed, and their implications for our understanding of current climate change and extinction risks. Highlighting the lessons from history, Phillips draws connections between past events and today’s human-driven environmental challenges, emphasizing the importance of learning from these catastrophic moments as we face a potential sixth extinction.
