Could you survive the first of Earth's 'Big Five' mass extinctions?
The End-Ordovician Extinction was a cataclysmic event that wiped out more than 80% of all marine species. This video explores the aftermath of this ancient biological crisis and asks whether human life could endure such a profound environmental shift.
The End-Ordovician Extinction stands as the first of the 'Big Five' mass extinction events in Earth's history. During this period, the oceans experienced a devastating loss of biodiversity, with estimates suggesting that over 80% of species perished. By examining the scale of this biological collapse, we can better understand the mechanics of planetary-scale extinction events.
