The earth's long-playing fossil record, the book explains, is a testament to the evolution of life on this planet over the past 3.5 billion years. Paleontologists show how recent fossil discoveries, especially those in Australia, are revolutionizing our understanding of the patterns and processes of animal, plant, and microbial evolution. |
