Stories the Earth Tells with Dan Gish: The Great Dying
About 252 million years ago, life on Earth came closer to disappearing than at any other time in our planet’s history. Known as the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction, this catastrophic event wiped out nearly 90% of marine species and a majority of life on land, reshaping ecosystems and paving the way for entirely new forms of life to emerge.
During this thought-provoking session, we’ll dive into questions that scientists have been studying for decades:
• What exactly happened during the Permo-Triassic extinction?
•What caused such a massive loss of life?
