Anna Clayborne: The history of everything

How did the universe begin? How was the Earth created? How did dinosaurs appear, and why did they disappear? Who were the first humans? When did cities first appear? When were computers invented? How has today's dazzling science and technology developed? Regardless of generation, everyone has likely wondered about these things at least once. *A Brief History of Everything* provides answers to these questions by examining the history of the Earth and humanity chronologically, from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the birth of the Earth, through the age of dinosaurs, and up to the modern era of advanced science and technology. It covers the process of the universe and time beginning with the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, the planets of the universe, the emergence and evolution of small and simple first life forms about 4 billion years ago on an Earth devoid of life, the first terrestrial plants, the dinosaurs of the sky, land, and sea, and their eventual disappearance. Furthermore, it answers questions about the history of the Earth and humanity, covering the lineage of humankind from primitive ancestors to Homo sapiens, the birth of urban civilizations and empires, the Industrial Revolution and the use of electricity which sparked new waves of invention and discovery, and the development of transportation to the present day. Although society has developed and our lives have become more convenient, the construction of cities and roads has destroyed natural habitats for plants and animals, indiscriminate hunting has pushed animals to the brink of extinction, nature has been polluted by factory waste and power plants, and harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have caused climate change.
