Synopsis
Assembled by a team of scientists and artists, this book looks at the marvels of adaptation through natural selection - the unity of form and function in the vertebrae skeleton - everything from fish to primates including Homo Sapiens. The text provides readers with a thought-provoking demonstration of how each bone is perfectly adapted to the purpose it serves.
