Episode 360: 4.6 Billion Years in 2 Hours, Henry Gee
This week I am speaking with Evolutionary Biologist and Author, Henry Gee. Henry is also the Senior Editor of the scientific journal 'Nature'. He has published a number of books including his latest which just released, 'A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: 4.6 Billion Years in 12 Pithy Chapters'.
In this full episode we talk about writing processes, the origin of life on Earth, extinction events, as well as mammalian evolution. At the end of the discussion we speculate wildly about what the Earth might look like over the next billion years.
