The Earth's long-playing fossil record is a testament to the evolution of life over the past 3.5 billion years. In 'The Evolution Revolution', palaeontologists Ken McNamara and John Long show how recent fossil discoveries are revolutionising our understanding of the patterns and processes of animal, plant and microbial evolution.
From the first microscopic forms of life, to the evolution of the first animals to crawl and swim in the oceans, to the colonisation of life on land, from feathered dinosaurs to whales with legs, and from the first flower to the first humans, the authors take us on a journey through time to show that these myriad designs were produced without intelligence, by the wonder of evolution.
