Showing results for "Born" in Earth Sciences

In Born in Africa, Martin Meredith follows the trail of discoveries about human origins made by scientists over the last hundred years, recounting their intense rivalry, personal feuds, and fierce controversies, as well as their feats of skill and endurance. The results have been momentous. Scientists have identified more than 20 species of extinct humans. They have firmly established Africa as the birthplace not only of humankind but also of modern humans.

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors.

Le projet photographique Born in PPM de Mary-Lou Mauricio a pour vocation de démontrer l’accélération de la concentration en CO2 depuis la révolution industrielle. Les participants posent avec le taux de leur année de naissance.Chaque année, le volume d’énergies fossiles brûlées augmente, libérant toujours plus de CO2 dans notre atmosphère. Cette concentration se mesure en « Parties Par Million ». Depuis la révolution industrielle, ce taux ne cesse d’augmenter, de plus en plus vite contribuant fortement au dérèglement climatique en cours. En 2022, le taux de concentration...
