The History of Life on Earth Thursdays, January 29 and February 5 (Two-part Series) 12:30 – 2:30 PM $3 Members / $5 Non-Members Presented by: Randy Schau During Earth's 5 billion years, it has been home to countless forms of life. Amazingly, 99% of that life is no longer with us, having long since gone extinct. Via 947 slides, this two-session class will explore many of those life forms, from the first bacteria to sea creatures like trilobites and Dunkleosteus, to the first plants and the amphibians that followed, then on to reptiles, culminating with dinosaurs! Lastly, we'll deal with mammals, from the first mice to saber-toothed tigers to wooly mammoths, as well as the evolution of birds. Also discussed will be the five major extinction events, each of which wiped out nearly 80% of Earth's life, forcing a biological restart. If you're interested in what life preceded man, this class should be of interest! Call (269) 329-4555 to register.
