Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges a long-held scientific belief that animal life, particularly fish, originated in the ocean and only later ventured into freshwater environments. The author, a renowned botanist and palaeontologist, argues for a freshwater origin of fish, drawing on his extensive fieldwork and years of research into fossil remains. Examining the fossil record, he reveals striking evidence of freshwater fish populations flourishing in ancient times, predating the appearance of marine fish in the fossil record. This book goes beyond a mere cataloguing of fossils, offering a detailed exploration of the complex interplay between geological changes, environmental pressures, and the evolutionary trajectory of fish. The author's insights into the environment of early fish, particularly the importance of freshwater habitats and thermal springs, provide a fascinating and previously unexplored perspective on the development of life on Earth. By connecting the dots between geological conditions and the evolution of fish, this book offers a compelling and thought-provoking reevaluation of our understanding of fish origins and the broader history of life on Earth.
