Specifikacia Stones and Bones - Rob Wilsher, Sophie Williams Ilustrátor
Excavating four billion years of history from the ground beneath our feet!Over the past four billion years, life on our planet has evolved from microscopic single-celled organisms to today's incredible array of flora and fauna. In the course of this time, layer upon layer of life was buried in sediment, turning into a fossilised record of the planet's history.This highly-illustrated, large-format book looks at all the incredible things that scientists have learned from the fossil record. The ways in which continents have drifted, merged and fragmented again. The life forms that have evolved and the great extinction events that wiped them out.Fish turned into tetrapods, turned into archosaurs, turned into dinosaurs and mammals. Eventually, a mere two million years ago, humans appeared, transforming the planet into what we know today.Clear, concise texts
