The Science Times Book of Fossils and Evolution traces life's first foothold on earth and the explosion of creation in the Cambrian era, through the reigning years of the largest animals to ever walk the planet - the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic - to the emergence of Homo sapiens two hundred thousand years ago. This illustrated volume reports on extraordinary fossil finds and currently vying theories of evolution. Included are the most pivotal discoveries of paleontology: the unearthing of Australopithecus in Ethiopia, the treasure trove of fossils in the Gobi Desert, and the startling discovery that Neanderthals lived in Europe only thirty thousand years ago. The Science Times Book of Fossils and Evolution will be enjoyed by amateur archaeologists, naturalists, students, dinosaur enthusiasts, and everyone interested in science.

Amazon.com Review

Readers of the Science Times section on Tuesdays in the New York Times are familiar with the high-quality features to be found there. Now the best science and nature articles have been collected in a series of books on Fish, Birds, Fossils and Evolution, and The Brain.

Fossils and Evolution covers topics like the evolution of "bigness," fossil finds, and the origin of life. A chapter on the evolution of humans explores much of the recent paleontological research into this controversial subject. These articles are a great overview of the research highlights that made splashes in the media, as well as the quiet discoveries that make science fascinating. --Therese Littleton

An easy addition to your biology course or general reading on topics in evolution.

By Amazon Customer on May 17, 2016

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Even thought the articles were written 20+ years ago, it is well written, concise, and still relative. The titles are catchy and the illustrations help me visualize the description of the evolution of the whale for example. It is easy to read, but provides in depth coverage of a topic in evolution. I recommend any "Science Times Book of Fossils and Evolution," as a supplementary reading to current courses or topics on animals and biology in general for high school students, college students, and those generally interested in reading about reports on a certain animal.
