The production value of the Shelf Life series is amazing! Kudos to everyone who works to put these together and to the staff of AMNH.

I’m just so fascinated by prehistoric life, it’s just so much more interesting than stuff today. If only those six extinction events hadn’t happened

I'm jealous of the PHD students. I wish I could have finished school and received a proper education. I grew up in the south in very religious area. Education was not held in high priority. I don't even recall learning about evolution in public school. I was kicked out when I was 15. I was told I would not be sent off if I just stayed home and didn't return to school. We didn't have a properly funded school system. It was very religious conservative area. They didn't even want to teach children about sexual reproduction. I feel like I was cheated out of a proper education and a shot at a better life. Lucky for me I studied on my own and now my children will all have proper educations.

[@Appalachiosaurus22]

You completely skipped over the Permian!

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

The most important of all extinction

[@tiggerrah2988]

This was fun until the worms. And then it was gross.
