Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author is an investigation into the geological history of European animals and how their geographical distribution tells the tale of their movement and evolution. The author argues that animals provide critical insight into the past and that the story of animal migrations is read through their geographical distribution. By carefully studying how animals disperse today, the author shows how we can understand the complex history of animal movement across continents and epochs. The author draws on examples including the hedgehog, the lynx, and migratory birds, and includes maps, illustrations, and photographs to illustrate his points. The book considers the geological history of mammals, birds, and reptiles, and concludes that the geographical distribution of present-day species is a key to unlocking the secrets of the geological past.
