Description
Why did Darwin find turtles so interesting? Do humans really descend from ape ancestors? How did the peacock come to have its enormous tail? What might life look like elsewhere in the universe? In this richly illustrated book, Gerard Cheshire tells us the story of evolution and how we became the organisms we are today. It contains all the key information about convergence, sexual selection, epigenetics, and all the other fundamental concepts of modern genetics and the theory of natural selection. In the appendices, you will also find the trees of life for the most interesting species of living organisms.
