Produktbeschreibung

Spectacular, mysterious, elegant, or grotesque, the vertebrate skeletons of Earth's fossil record carry within them the traces of several billion years of life. This book provides a map of those billion years in time. It presents the undeniable truth of Darwin's theory, showing through 200 photographs of skeletons both obscure and commonplace.
