内容説明
The last decade has seen an explosion in information about the evolution of life based on the fossil record. Discoveries and research have shed light on the earliest evidence of life; the evolution of the earliest multi-celled organisms; the earliest animals; the earliest direct evidence for the colonization of land by animals; information and ideas on the earliest fossil fishes and the evolution of four-legged animals; a candidate for the ancestor of the insects; a treasure trove of tertiary mammals; dinosaur finds leading to ideas on their origins and life styles; ideas on the role of predation in evolution; the impact on animals and plants rates of development on their evolution; and much more. This book shows fossils to be at the cutting edge of new discoveries, and tackles all the current controversies in palaeontology. It is aimed also at general reader.
