Ever wonder how this place we call home came to be? Four and a half billion years of Earth’s history is presented here in a humorous, illustrated, and entirely true version of events from the Big Bang to today!
 
It started with a Bang. The Big Bang to be exact. And it continues with YOU! Here is the story of the Earth from the chaotic Hadean eon with its huge oceans of molten rock to today’s Cenozoic era, aka the Age of Mammals (and that includes us humans). Along the way, meet some of the planet’s wildest life-forms—from the first cells to the trilobites and other arthropods, the first fish that evolved jaws, insects, trees, sharks, dinosaurs, mammals, and more! Watch the continents separate, crash together again, and reform into the land masses we know today. And get a better understand of our climate reality through an eyewitness view of Earth’s major mass extinction events. Told in a lively, illustrated biography form to deliver its cutting-edge science in the most compelling way—this is the ultimate story of the best home in the galaxy!
