About this ebook
Extinct Animals explores the science behind extinction, investigating the disappearance of remarkable creatures like mammoths and saber-toothed cats. The book delves into paleontology, examining the fossil record and DNA analysis to understand how scientists piece together the lives of vanished species.
Learning about past mass extinction events, such as those caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions, offers insights into the current biodiversity crisis and the factors threatening species today.
A key focus is de-extinction, exploring the possibility of bringing back extinct animals through cloning and genetic engineering. The book evaluates the ethical considerations surrounding de-extinction, weighing the potential ecological, economic, and social impacts.
Beginning with the principles of evolutionary biology, the book progresses through major extinction events and concludes with conservation strategies to prevent future losses, offering a comprehensive overview for anyone interested in biology, life sciences, and nature.
