A Long Now Boston Community Conversation with Andrew Knoll, the Fisher Research Professor of Natural History at Harvard University and author of ‘A Brief History of Earth’ (02021).
Andy Knoll guided Long Now Boston participants through the geological history of the earth in less than an hour, highlighting the five mass extinctions events demonstrating the interconnection of geological, meteorological and biological Earth. Current climate trends may not seem so dramatic, but biological species are declining with record speed. The human species now gets to decide how to respond.
