A Nickel-Sized Mini Book Sums Up Most Of The Major Events Of Life On Earth

Illustrator and designer Evan Lorenzen has an admirably relaxed outlook on the history of the world, which helped him put the most important events on Earth into a teeny tiny book called “The Mini Book of Major Events.” It starts with the rise of the first life form and ends with a curious and hopeful glimpse into our future. What’s interesting is that, thousands of years later, whether Earth will still be inhabited by humans or by other life forms, this is probably how they will see and imagine our long, dramatic and difficult history – as a few little fragments and impersonalized milestones of life on Earth.
