It may be hard to believe that the Earth, with all the complexity and biodiversity we observe today, originated in a cloud of gas and dust.

The Earth’s remarkable origins are chronicled in this insightful volume, which also examines the prehistoric organisms—from bacteria to dinosaurs—that populated the planet long before humans arrived.
