  • When the Invasion of Land Failed

    The Legacy of the Devonian Extinctions

    by George McGhee Jr. ...
    Series series The Critical Moments and Perspectives in Earth History and Paleobiology
    The invasion of land by ocean-dwelling plants and animals was one of the most revolutionary events in the evolution of life on Earth, yet the animal invasion almost failed—twice—because of the twin mass extinctions of the Late Devonian Epoch. Some 359 to 375 million years ago, these catastrophic events dealt our ancestors a blow that almost drove them back into the sea. If those extinctions had ... Read more
