The development of the anus was a revolution in the biosphere. It allowed for poop to bec late and form into little blocks. And these turds sank, which led to a wonderful thing,. Which also led to this conversation eventually. Could you talk about that for a minute, please? Well, what's happened? I very simple. Animals like jellyfish, imean basically most creatures are microscopic. But when animals invented poo, the poo went straight to the bottom. So all this oxygen used by decay bacteria at the bottom goes away. And it walses we had the last disparage in ijt show respect man some major step in evolution.
In this episode, we sit down with Henry Ernest Gee, the paleontologist, evolutionary biologist and senior editor of the scientific journal Nature.
I was honored to get the opportunity chat with one of the absolute titans of science journalism and science communication about his new book: A Very Short History of Life on Earth, 4.6 billion years in 12 chapters.
