Sometime around 66 million years ago, a meteor smashed into what is today the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. 

The impact of that event changed life on Earth in ways that are still evident today.

Learn more about the Chicxulub Impact, how it was discovered, and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
