How would we know if there were previous civilisations on Earth?

Science In Action

Available for over a year

If advanced civilisations had already lived on Earth, would they have left a trace? Astrobiologist Adam Frank and climatologist Gavin Schmidt philosophise about the evidence we humans might leave behind in the Earth鈥檚 geological record millions of years after we鈥檝e gone extinct. They start by speculating whether a fictional advanced race of lizard-like people 鈥� the Silurians, from Dr. Who 鈥� would leave any clues. Picture: Silurian Warriors, Credit: 麻豆社
