About this listen

Why did almost all life go extinct 250 million years ago? Why on five other occasions in the geological history has the living world experienced sudden episodes of global mega-death with the majority of species being annihilated? And are humans causing the sixth great mass extinction event in Earth's history? These are among the questions Adam Rutherford explores in this three-part series on extinction. Producer: Andrew Luck-Baker.

Love listening to Adam anyway and his narration of his book was extremely well done. The science behind the theories of extinction events is fascinating and explained well.

Fascinating insight into extinction events

I enjoyed this, I found the content interesting and well delivered but I think it's too short to be worth one credit.

Great but overpriced.
