"Great Extinctions" – A Journey Through Earth’s Lost Worlds
This book redefines how we understand the history of our planet. Instead of abstract facts, it introduces over 20 key biological species—from orcas and Neanderthals to corals and trilobites—whose influence on Earth was pivotal.
The story begins in the year 2150, where an artificial intelligence and Martian robots investigate the cause of humanity’s extinction in 2100. From there, we travel into the past. Orcas recount modern life on Earth and the global climate crisis. The last Neanderthals reveal the mystery of their disappearance 40,000 years ago. The great white shark, the sole survivor of four mass extinctions, shares its 400-million-year secret of survival. Finally, the Moon and the World Ocean testify to the epic origins of Earth and life itself.
A compelling narrative that connects deep time with a speculative future, offering a fresh perspective on extinction, survival, and the fragile balance of life.
