SUMMARY:Sci-Fi September: The Rise and Reign of the Mammals
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required. Sign up below to receive the Zoom 
 information on the morning of the event. \n\nPaleontologist\, professor and 
 best-selling author Steve Brusatte will discuss his latest book\, The Rise 
 and Reign of the Mammals.\n\nStretch back 325 million years to follow our 
 mammalian forebearers as they persevere in the shadow of the dinosaurs\, 
 survive the worst day in the history of Earth\, and then rapidly diversify 
 and claim the world as their own. From woolly mammoths and saber-toothed 
 tigers and countless spectacular extinct species\, and eventually the 6000  
 species of mammals that rule the Earth today\, including ourselves. 
 \n\nSteve Brusatte\, professor at the University of Edinburgh and 
 paleontology consultant on Jurassic World: Dominion\, discusses his new 
 book The Rise and Reign of the Mammals. He reveals the new fossil finds and 
 technologies that are allowing us to understand the evolution of mammals in 
 unprecedented detail. By doing so\, he uncovers how our single human 
 species is affecting the world like no mammal before\, and if things 
 continue at the current pace\, more than half of all mammal species may 
 succumb to extinction. Now at the most perilous point in mammal history 
 since our ancestors stared down the asteroid\, the lecture builds an 
 understanding and revelling in our history\, enabling us to make a better 
 future. \n\nThis program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the 
 Mountain View Library.
