Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an evolutionary history of the human race from the perspective of biologist Ernst Haeckel, one of Darwin's earliest and most vocal supporters. It traces our lineage back to one-celled organisms that first appeared billions of years ago. Haeckel organizes his argument into five main periods, starting with the Archilithic Epoch (the age of Skull-less Animals) and ending with the Anthropolithic Epoch (the age of Man). By examining Comparative Anatomy, the record of paleontology, and the study of living and extinct species, the author argues that all species, including humans, descend from a common ancestor. While the records of history may be incomplete, the author uses existing evidence to fill in the gaps and trace the evolution of life to the present day. This book is a fascinating exploration of the origins of life on Earth and a testament to the power of scientific inquiry.
