Epic Earth: A Wild Ride through the History of Life on Our Planet

Hold on tight for a bold and epically fascinating journey through time packed with bizarre creatures, jaw—dropping facts, and all the chaotic drama Earth has to offer.

Known for turning TikTok and YouTube into her own digital science classroom, viral content creator Lindsay Nikole brings her signature energy and storytelling to Epic Earth—a book that transforms 4.6 billion years of history—from the Precambrian era to the present—into an unforgettable adventure.

This is the story of Earth like you’ve never seen it before—from the first spark of life to prehistoric monsters to the rise of humans…and all the weird stuff in between. This book takes you through every era of the Earth’s history.

Meet some prehistoric creatures too weird for Hollywood:

• Opabinia – a five—eyed, backward—facing, vacuum—nozzle—mouthed oddball that looks like it lost a bet with evolution
• Anomalocaris – a giant ocean predator with sideways—facing claws (basically nightmare shrimp)
• Aegirocassis – a filter—feeding sea giant Lindsay calls “absolutely grotesque”
• Titanoboa – the largest snake to ever exist (yes, it could eat you)
• Smilodon – the legendary saber—toothed cat with a bite far scarier than its Instagram profile would suggest
• Plus: ancient sharks, giant bugs, and way too many creatures with way too many teeth

In Epic Earth, you’ll uncover:

• The chaotic early days of Earth (volcanoes, meteors, and non—stop disaster)
• Paleozoic oceans teeming with alien—like life
• The rise and fall of dinosaurs (plus some you've never heard of)
• Mass extinctions that hit like plot twists
• Ice Ages, megafauna, and why prehistoric animals were so extra
• How life survived again and again — and how we fit into the story

The history of Earth is a wild ride. Let Lindsay Nikole be your guide.
