In the tradition of G. G. Simpson's classic work, Kenneth D. Rose's The Beginning of the Age of Mammals analyzes the events that occurred directly before and after the mysterious K-T boundary which so quickly thrust mammals from obscurity to planetary dominance.

Rose surveys the evolution of mammals, beginning with their origin from cynodont therapsids in the Mesozoic, contemporary with dinosaurs, through the early Cenozoic, with emphasis on the Paleocene and Eocene adaptive radiations of therian mammals. Focusing on the fossil record, he presents the anatomical evidence used to interpret behavior and phylogenetic relationships. The life's work of one of the most knowledgeable researchers in the field, this richly illustrated, magisterial book combines sound scientific principles and meticulous research and belongs on the shelf of every paleontologist and mammalogist.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This beautiful and thorough book will be an essential tool for all those who work on fossil and extant mammals, and for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It is a 'must buy' for palaeontological libraries.
―Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska, Nature

This volume will be extremely valuable, particularly for mammalogists used to dealing only with the time slice of the Recent . . . Highly recommended.
―Choice

The first comprehensive synthesis of mammal evolution in more than 20 years. It is arguably the most significant contribution to the field since George Simpson's classic work Principles of Classification and a Classification of Mammals.
―Amy Chew, Quarterly Review of Biology

Will almost certainly become a heavily used reference and mainstay in the classroom for students and teachers of mammalian evolution . . . Deserving of accolades as a particularly noteworthy achievement.
―Christopher C. Gilbert, Evolutionary Anthropology

Remarkable book.
―Peter Langer, Mammalian Biology

Authoritative, up-to-date, and full of references to corroborate synthetic overviews of major events in mammalian evolution. Ken Rose does his profession a service by providing a compact analysis of the history of the diverse Class Mammalia through the end of the Eocene Epoch and beyond.
―Lawrence J. Flynn, Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology

A must reference for all mammalian and aspiring mammalian paleontologists.
―J.D. Archibald, Journal of Mammalian Evolution

The rise of mammals

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2009

Verified Purchase

Ken Rose's book is a truly magisterial contribution that should be on the bookshelf of every serious student of mammalian biology and evolution. Indeed, it provides a model for book-length treatments of the evolutionary history of other vertebrate groups. Rose provides a clearly written, richly illustrated overview of the early Cenozoic history of mammals, synthesizing a vast amount of technical literature on this fascinating subject and the results of his own research and thinking over more than three decades. An extensive bibliography provides an invaluable guide to the primary literature, which is widely scattered and published in many different languages.
