Everything Everywhere Daily - Mass Extinction Events
We like to think of the Earth as a very stable place. While there might be seasonal variation in the weather, things don’t really change that much within our lifetimes.
However, if you take a longer perspective, a much longer perspective, things can change a lot.
In fact, there have been five times in the history of the Earth when life on Eath completely changed. When over half of the species on the planet completely disappeared.
Learn more about the Earth’s mass extinction events and what caused them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Notes
- My favorite work on Mays is James Hirsch's glorious biography, Willie Mays: The Life, the Legend. I also recommend John Klima's Willie's Boys, about the Black Baron's 1948 season.
- If you're looking to get more context for the city during those years, I'd recommend Diane McWhorter's history, Carry Me Home.
