More about the book

Published in 1922, this history of planet Earth by H.G. Wells explores the scientific understanding of the planet at a time when human exploration had barely touched the heights of seven miles above the surface. It reflects the limited knowledge of Earth's age, estimated to be over 2 billion years, and the nascent comprehension of the origins of organic life. The book captures a pivotal moment in scientific thought, offering insights into humanity's early attempts to grasp the vastness of Earth's history and evolution.
