Foreword by Professor Stephen Palumbi Imagining the Future by Professor R McNeill Alexander Evolving Earth To imagine the future, we must first look to the past. By tracing the history of life on Earth, we can begin to see the recurring patterns of evolution that will help us predict what the future may hold. - Dynamic Earth - Cycles of Life - Life Lines (Geological timeline) 5 Million Years Earth is now at the peak of an Ice age that began well before human times. Northern Europe and North America are covered by ice sheets. The world is a cold dry place where only the hardiest, most adaptable species are able to survive. - Ice Age - North European Ice - The Mediterranean Basin - The Amazon Grassland - The North American Desert - End of an Era 100 Million Years Earth has enjoyed a long period of stable conditions since the last Ice age, and life has bounced back. The icecaps have melted, sea levels have risen and the world is warm and humid. It is a global hothouse, brimming with life. - Hothouse Earth - The Shallow Seas - The Bengal Swamp - The Antarctic Forest - The Great Plateau - Mass Extinction 200 Million Years The planet has changed. A single, huge supercontinent shares Earth with a vast, warm ocean. It is 100 million years since the mass extinction that destroyed 95 percent of species on Earth. But evolution is probably at its most inventive after a mass extinction. - A New Pangaea - The Central Desert - The Global Ocean - The Rainshadow Desert - The Northern Forest - Glossary - Index - Picture Credits
Synopsis
Imagine the world in the far distant future -- a world without humans, a world so different from ours that, until now, it's been impossible to consider. What creatures will roam the land or swim in the oceans? The Future Is Wild brings to life a world of amazing creatures and sets them loose in our imagination. Based on fundamental biological and evolutionary principles, they could -- and may yet -- exist: 5 million years from now. It cannot fly, but the carakiller is the Amazon's swiftest predator. 100 million years from now. Toratons, descendents of tortoises, are the biggest animals ever to walk the Earth. 200 million years from now. Warrior terabytes disable victims by spraying chemicals at them. In five million years, Northern Europe and North America are covered by ice sheets. Only the hardiest, most adaptable species are able to survive. In 100 million years, Earth is a global hothouse, brimming with life. Another 100 million years and Earth is a single, huge supercontinent and one vast, warm ocean. Using state-of-the-art computer animation, The Future Is Wild is able to transform the imagination into actual images, creating a living world of strange creatures and extraordinary habitats., Companion book to The Animal Planet series. The book looks at how life on Earth may evolve over the next 200 million years. It is written with a team of international scientists, based on biological and evolutionary principles.
