Description

Mass Extinction explores the fascinating history of how extinction evolved from a radical scientific idea to a cornerstone of modern biology. Written by P. David Polly from Indiana University's Department of Geological Sciences, this Springer publication traces humanity's understanding of fossils and extinct species over centuries. Just two centuries ago, the concept that fossils represented organisms no longer living on Earth was revolutionary, challenged by competing theories that fossils were merely mineralizations or remnants of undiscovered species. This book examines how scientific thinking shifted from 18th-century interpretations to contemporary understanding of extinction events and their implications for life on our planet. Essential reading for students and researchers in biological sciences, geology, and paleontology seeking to understand the pivotal role mass extinction plays in shaping biodiversity and evolutionary history.

Key Features

Written by P. David Polly, a recognised expert in geological sciences from Indiana University.

Published by Springer, a leading academic publisher specialising in scientific and technical literature.

Covers the revolutionary evolution of extinction theory from radical idea to established scientific principle.

Examines historical interpretations of fossils and how 18th-century science understood organic remains.
