About this item

In an outstanding sequence of illustrations, Life Before Man reconstructs in vivid detail the conditions on our planet from its earliest beginnings more than 3000 million years ago to the arrival of Homo sapiens. As the amazing story of evolution unfolds, a distant world is brought to life - a world whose landscapes, filled with dense vegetation and strange plant life, are inhabited by dinosaurs or by the first ape-like ancestors of modern humans. In a completely updated text, new discoveries of fossil fishes, amphibians and reptiles are described, and the latest theories about the origins and early development of mammals and humans are outlined. Providing a clear chronological account of the evolutionary process with the help of colour-coded sections and time charts, Life Before Man is both informative and engaging, an ideal introduction for adults and children of all ages.
