Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the transformations of the animal world over vast stretches of time, as revealed by discoveries made over the last century and a half. The author, writing from a deep knowledge of palaeontology, zoology and geology, takes the reader on a grand tour of the evolutionary journey of life on earth. The book discusses some of the key ideas that have shaped our understanding of evolution, from early transformist and diluvian theories to Lamarck and Darwin. It then turns to the palaeontological record itself, examining how the fossil record reveals the remarkable transformations that have occurred in the animal kingdom over time. The author delves into the mechanisms of evolution, including variation, migration and extinction, and how these processes have shaped the diversity of life that we see today. This book is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the history of life on earth, providing a fascinating insight into the transformations that have shaped the animal kingdom.
