Evolution can be a difficult idea to wrap our brains around: it deals with random, unlikely events, combined with vast lengths of time too enormous to comprehend. But the evidence is all around us-in the fossils of long-dead creatures, and in our genes and the relationships between all living beings.
Amazing Evolution shines a light on this incredible process, from the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion years ago, to the millions of different species alive today, including the moon-walking, talking apes with super-powerful brains-human beings
Filled with clear explanations, beautiful illustrations and fascinating facts about the planet's strangest and most spectacular creatures, Amazing Evolution will keep children (and adults, too ) enthralled for hours.
Delve into the pages and learn what makes a fish a fish, why giraffes have such long necks and how all living things, from cabbages to tigers, are related Amazing Evolution is the perfect first book about evolution for young readers.Author Biography
