A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: 4.6 Billion Years in 12 Pithy Chapters

In A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth, Henry Gee presents a historical account centered on 4.6 Billion Years in 12 Pithy Chapters. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
