In-depth exploration of the 5th stage of the history of life on Earth: “Large-scale destruction”

Osaka City Museum of Natural History Special Exhibition “Daimekasuke Exhibition—Five Major Events in the History of Life”

It has been 4 billion years since the birth of self-life, and there have been numerous life crises on Earth.
The main source of the crisis is the impact of small planets outside the Earth, followed by activities in the Earth's interior such as volcanoes, but at times the main source of life activity is also the cause of the formation of the planet.
However, each life is constantly overcoming small crises, and as a result, the new population is flourishing and the new population is becoming more and more diverse.
In other words, large-scale destruction is also visible, which is a kind of phenomenon that promotes the prosperity of life.
This exhibition will present various evidences of the existence of transparent fossils and rocks, an in-depth analysis of the five largest ``large-scale destruction'' events (commonly known as ``Five Great Ruins''), and a parallel history of the survival and development of the ``biological ruins''.
