How did life begin-and how did it eventually produce dinosaurs, whales, birds and human beings? The Great Story of Life takes young readers on an extraordinary journey through nearly four billion years of evolution. Beginning with the earliest simple cells, it explains how photosynthesis transformed the planet, how complex organisms developed and how life spread from the oceans onto the land. Discover the strange creatures of the Cambrian seas, the first fish with backbones, giant prehistoric insects and the reptiles that mastered life away from water. Enter the world of the dinosaurs, learn how feathers evolved before flight and uncover why birds are living dinosaurs. Follow the rise of mammals, the development of primates and the branching human family tree that eventually produced Homo sapiens. Written in accessible UK English for readers aged 8 to 12, this scientifically accurate introduction explains DNA, mutation, inheritance, natural selection, adaptation, extinction and common ancestry without treating evolution as a ladder of progress. Serious, exciting and filled with genuine wonder, this is the remarkable story of how life changed-and why evolution is still continuing today.
