This title for school students follows the evolution of plants and animals, from the first living things 6 billion years ago to the animals living in the world today. Darwin's Tree of Life and his theories on evoltion explain how the incredible diversity of life on earth came to be. This beautifully illustrated book starts from the dawn of life, and then continues on to show the order in which plants and animals evolved, and the different branches of 'The Tree of Life', plus how plants and animals have adapted and changed over time in many amazing and different ways and infinite variety. Find out why crabs run sideways, which fish was the first to walk on land, why birds are so similar to the dinosaurs that once inhabited our planet, and why brains are located in creatures heads not their feet, and many other fascinating facts.
