About this book

What Dinosaurs Teach Us About Survival

What if dinosaurs could help us prepare for the future? In Surviving Climate and Chaos , paleontologist and science communicator Evan Jevnikar reveals how the prehistoric past holds critical lessons for understanding modern climate change, extinction, and survival.

Dinosaurs weren't just ancient curiosities—they were vital parts of ancient ecosystems whose rise and fall mirrors many of the patterns scientists see in today's rapidly changing world. With a blend of cutting-edge science, fascinating fossil discoveries, and philosophical reflection, Jevnikar explores how the extinction of these giants can help us confront humanity's future.

From mass extinctions and ecosystem collapse to resilience and adaptation, this book makes the case that dinosaurs still have much to teach us. Whether you're a lifelong dino fan, a science reader, or someone curious about how Earth's past predicts its future, Surviving Climate and Chaos is an essential and captivating read.

Inside, you'll find:

  • How ancient ecosystems reveal patterns in today's climate change
  • What dinosaur fossils teach us about survival and extinction
  • How to apply lessons from prehistory to modern environmental challenges
