Sinossi
From the first microscopic forms of life to the evolution of the first animals crawling and swimming in the oceans; from feathered dinosaurs to whales with legs; from the first flower to the first humans, this volume takes readers on a journey through time to show that these myriad designs were produced not by intelligence, but by the wonder of evolution. The earth's long-playing fossil record, the book explains, is a testament to the evolution of life on this planet over the past 3.5 billion years. Paleontologists show how recent fossil discoveries, especially those in Australia, are revolutionizing our understanding of the patterns and processes of animal, plant, and microbial evolution.

Paperback. Condizione: new. McNamara (illustratore). Paperback. Impeccably researched, remarkably readable and punctuated with good humour, The Evolution Revolution puts a human face on the enterprise of palaeontology.3.8 billion years ago life evolved.540 million years ago came the first complex animals.380 million years ago fish had evolved fins with arm bones that humans have today.So are humans a case study for or against evolution?The Evolution Revolution takes you on a rollicking ride through the past 3.8 billionyears of life on Earth exploring the complex and often controversial issue ofevolution. Join two of Australia's most accomplished popular science writers,palaeontologists Ken McNamara and John Long, on field trips that unearth some of the world's most significant fossils, from microbes to mighty mammals, including the feathered dinosaurs that make the link between reptiles and birds.The authors take us through the dramatic transition from fins to limbs, howthe first insects flew, why dinosaurs got so big and how life has evolved into nearly every nook and cranny on Earth. The major fossil discoveries of the past decade they have documented comprehensively debunk the notion of intelligent design. Like it or not, along with dinosaurs, donkeys and dahlias we too came from bacteria that swam in the primordial soup.Impeccably researched, remarkably readable and punctuated with good humour, The Evolution Revolution puts a human face on the enterprise of palaeontology. It is essential reading for anyone interested in fossils and the big events in life history. Takes you on a ride through the past 3.8 billion years of life on Earth exploring the complex and controversial issue of evolution.
