Animal Evolution from Pre-history to Today. Indexed and Illustrated.
Beautiful colour photographs of modern animals. Fascinating reconstructions of ancient animals. Clear, authoritative text. Contains a large, open-out depiction of geological time.
Tthe vast number of species and the enormous variety of life on Earth is almost more than the human mind can comprehend. Yet all this life has evolved from simple beginnings over a relatively short part of Earth's history. Each living creature is the descendant of almost countless ancestors, and as one looks back in time, these ancestors tend to be increasingly different from the animal of today.
Living Witnesses takes as its starting point the animals that are living now. It then looks back to see how these animals are present-day representatives of their ancestors - how they are living witnesses to the past.
Beautiful pictures by leading wildlife photographers illustrate the moden animals, and there are fascinating and carefully produced reconstructions of their ancestors.
Living Witnesses is a beautiful book that makes fascinating reading, is an education for both adults and children, and is a valuable source of reference for evolutionary history.
Please Note: Because of the large size of the book $3 has been included in the normal price to help cover the additional packaging and postage cost.
