The third installment in the Earth Before Us series travels through
the Cenozoic Era, the Ice Age, and up to the dawn of humanity, now in
paperback
After the dinosaurs died out, Earth was by no means empty. There were
still some little resourceful critters around who, without big predators
to hunt them down, survived and thrived. Who were these scrappy
creatures? Early mammals, our ancestors! In the Cenozoic Era, mammals
rose to dominance and spread over the globe, resulting in woolly
mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and eventually all of humankind. In this
adventure, we meet the three kinds of mammals--monotremes, marsupials,
and placental mammals--as well as the other amazing ancient beasts they
shared the Earth with during the Cenozoic Era. The graphic novel tracks
Earth's history from 66 million years ago to present day, ending with an
impassioned yet hopeful discussion of climate change.
