Synopsis These Chronicles of Extinction recount the extinction of various animal species. They begin with the story of the Galapagos tortoises and continue in episodes with a historical account of how science, through the fossil record, confirmed the extinction of species. The so-called extinction of the dinosaurs is detailed while others chapters narrate the extinctions of the Ice Age megafauna and the extinct relatives of humankind. In addition, addresses the extinction histories of some species contemporary to humans, and the series explores how science confronts the problem of modern extinctions.
