As long as the world keeps changing there will be species who succeed in adapting to those changes, and others who fail. That being said, there are also moments in geological history that there is such an overwhelming loss of life that they are seen as one of Earth’s great mass extinctions. This has happened five time throughout our planets history…. But even among these great catastrophes, this one stands out… With an absolutely unprecedented 70% of terrestrial species and 96% of marine species dying out at the end of the Permian, this is the closest our planet has ever come to becoming a dead world. Come join me as we conclude the Paleozoic Era with the worst thing to ever happen to life on Earth… The only event in our planets history worthy of the title “The Great Dying” Thank you to Wondrium for sponsoring today’s video!
