A very brief life story on Earth. 4.6 billion years in 12 laconic chapters. Ji G.

At first, the Earth was an inhospitable alien place: streams of chemicals were continuously hit on the planet, it was covered with boiling oceans, and the landscape formed the ongoing eruptions of volcanoes. In the midst of this riot of elements and disasters, life began. The first cells similar to soap bubbles with a daring courage challenged the lifeless world. Life on our planet has been preserved for millennia, adapting to any, without exaggeration, conditions with which living organisms could face, and flourished, having traveled from the very first modest forms to the exciting and incredible history of our own species.

In this book, thanks to the contagious enthusiasm and scientific accuracy of the author, the well -known English paleontologist and specialist in evolutionary biology, the last 4.6 billion years are rapidly recovering in front of us. Based on the latest scientific data, Henry Ji clearly and accessibly tells an instructive story about survival and perseverance, shedding light on how fragile there was a balance in which life always existed.
