What makes a fish a fish? Why do giraffes have such long necks? How can all living things be related, from plants, tigers and fungi to dragonflies, octopuses and humans? Evolution has the answer to this and many, many more questions about life on Earth. This book explores what evolution is, how it works, and who discovered its secrets. It traces the journey of life, from the first, very simple form of life that emerged on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, to the incredible talking apes who inhabit the planet today, known as human beings!

REVIEW

"Incredible Evolution" sheds light on this amazing process, from the beginning of life about 3.8 billion years ago, to the millions of different species alive today. Packed with clear explanations, beautiful illustrations and fascinating facts about the strangest and most spectacular creatures on the planet, Incredible Evolution will keep kids (and adults too!) entertained for hours. Discover what makes a fish a fish, why giraffes have such long necks, and how all living things are related, from cabbages to tigers. I learned something new on every page. With detailed, brightly colored illustrations, clear and concise text, and clever visual aids, this book takes a complex subject and presents it in a format that's easy to understand, accessible, and enjoyable for readers of all ages.
