About this book

Language: Japanese

Approximately 250 million years ago, the largest mass extinction in history occurred. Some studies suggest that 96% of marine species perished. Volcanic activity in the Siberian Traps is believed to have been the cause, but much remains unknown about the mechanism of this mass extinction. Furthermore, there appear to have been differences in the timing and scale of extinctions between marine and terrestrial species, invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. Previous research has focused on marine organisms, particularly invertebrates, for which many fossils remain. This book explores the impact of the end-Permian mass extinction on the entire biological world, a topic not revealed solely through research on marine invertebrates. What was the Permian period like? What happened at the end of the Permian? How did organisms and their environments recover during the Triassic? This ambitious book comprehensively explores the major topic of the largest mass extinction in history.

Summary in Japanese:
約2億5000万年前、史上最大とされる大量絶滅が起きた。海棲生物では生物種の96%が絶滅したという研究もある。シベリア・トラップの火山活動が原因とされているが、大量絶滅のメカニズムについてはまだわからないことが多い。しかも、海と陸、無脊椎動物と脊椎動物、植物では、絶滅の起きたタイミングや規模に差があるようなのだ。従来の研究では、海棲生物、それも化石が多く残っている無脊椎動物の研究が中心となっていた。本書では、海棲無脊椎動物の研究からだけでは見えてこない、生物界全体にとっての、ペルム紀末の大量絶滅を描き出していく。そもそもペルム紀とはどんな時代だったのか? ペルム紀末には何が起きたのか? 三畳紀には生物とそれらを取り巻く環境はどのように回復していったのか? 史上最大の大量絶滅という大テーマを包括的に扱った野心的な一冊。
