What on Earth Evolved?

The complete story of life on Earth as seen through the lens of 100 species that changed the world

From slime moulds, to chickens, to bananas – which are the most successful species to have evolved in the wild, and what has thrived as a result of man’s interference? Join author Christopher Lloyd, as he tells the story of life on Earth as seen through the lens of 100 species that changed the world.

Christopher Lloyd is author of the ‘What on Earth?’ series. ‘What on Earth Evolved? 100 Species that Changed the World’ is the second in a series of three ‘What on Earth?’ books. The first was called ‘What on Earth Happened? The Complete Story of the Planet, Life and People from the Big Bang to the Present Day’.

This event took place on the 3rd December 2009 at Science Oxford Live.
