Overview

The Permian-Triassic extinction event, also known as the Great Dying, occurred around 252 million years ago and is considered the most severe mass extinction in Earth's history, with an estimated 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species becoming extinct. This event had a profound impact on the evolution of life on Earth, paving the way for the rise of the dinosaurs. Scientists such as Charles Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould, and Peter D. Ward have extensively studied this event, and organizations like the National Geographic Society and the American Museum of Natural History have contributed to our understanding of it.
