Description

Explore the history of scientific thought regarding species disappearance with Mass Extinction by Springer. This work examines how the concept of extinction evolved from a radical new idea into a foundational scientific principle. For much of the 18th century, the identity of fossils was a subject of intense debate, with many arguing they were merely unusual mineral formations or remains of species still living in unexplored parts of the world. This text traces the shift in understanding that occurred as scientists began to recognize fossils as the remains of species that no longer existed on Earth. It provides a deep look into the geological and biological perspectives that shaped our modern understanding of life and death on a global scale. Perfect for students, researchers, and readers interested in biological sciences and the history of natural science, this book offers a detailed look at how scientific consensus is built over time.

Key Features

Examines the historical evolution of extinction as a scientific concept from the 18th century to the present.

Provides insights into how early interpretations of fossils shifted from mineralizations to biological remains.

Offers a detailed perspective on the development of geological and biological science.

Written by P. David Polly from the Department of Geological Sciences at Indiana University.

A valuable resource for those studying biological sciences and the history of natural history.
