Journey through 4.6 billion years of Earth's history, from the first self-replicating molecules to the rise of human consciousness. In this episode, Deb explores the vast timeline of biological epochs: the Hadean's hellish beginnings, the Great Oxidation Event that poisoned Earth's early atmosphere, the Cambrian explosion of complex life, mass extinctions that reset evolution's clock, and the improbable series of events that led to us.

Discover how single-celled organisms transformed our planet's chemistry, why the "boring billion" years weren't boring at all, and how life repeatedly found ways to flourish after catastrophic extinctions. From stromatolites to dinosaurs, from the first flowers to the rise of mammals, we'll trace life's epic journey through deep time.

Perfect for anyone curious about evolution, geology, or our place in the grand story of life on Earth. Let the immense scales of geological time and the resilience of life gently carry you off to sleep.

Sweet dreams and curious nights from Dormant Knowledge.
