How long have humans left on Earth? Using contemporary science that revolutionises our understanding of evolution, Michael Boulter explains how we may be closer to our own extinction than imagined. Millions of years ago the dinosaurs were destroyed in a mass extinction event that could not have been predicted. Out of the devastation, new life developed and the world regained its natural equilibrium. Until now. Scientists, employing radically perspectives on the science of life, are beginning to uncover signs of a similar event on the horizon. The end of man. Through the story of the last 65 million years, Michael Boulter reveals extraordinary insights that scientists are only now beginning to understand about the past, the rise and fall of species and the nature of life. "Extinction" is an introduction into developments in the science of life as well as a chilling account of the effects that humans have had on the planet. The world will adapt and survive - humanity will not.
