Description

What do we know about animal evolution in the early twenty-first century?

How much more do we know today than Darwin did? What are the most exciting discoveries that have been made in the last few decades?

Covering all the main animal groups, from jellyfish to mammals, this book considers all of these questions and more.

Its 30 short chapters, each written in a conversational, nontechnical style and accompanied by numerous original illustrations, deal equally with the pattern and the process of evolution - with both evolutionary trees and evolutionary mechanisms.

They cover diverse evolutionary themes, including: the animal toolkit, natural selection, embryos and larvae, animal consciousness, fossils, human evolution, and even the possibility of animal life existing elsewhere than on Earth.

This unique text will make an excellent introduction for undergraduates and others with an interest in the subject.
