Synopsis
An award-winning biologist takes us on the dramatic expeditions that unearthed the history of life on our planet.
Just 150 years ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vague and vastly off the mark, and much of the knowledge of our own species' history was a set of fantastic myths and fairy tales. In the tradition of The Microbe Hunters and Gods, Graves, and Scholars, Sean Carroll leads a rousing voyage that recounts the most important discoveries in two centuries of natural history: from Darwin's trip around the world to Charles Walcott's discovery of pre-Cambrian life in the Grand Canyon; from Louis and Mary Leakey's investigation of our deepest past in East Africa to the trailblazers in modern laboratories who have located a time clock in our DNA.

Review
"These scientific adventurers inspire the author--and will do the same for experts and novices alike--with their fearless dedication to getting at the truth, as far as it can be known. A stirring introduction to the wonder of evolutionary biology." --Kirkus Review, 12/15/08
From the Back Cover
Remarkable Creatures tells the story of the evolution revolution - two centuries of exploration, adventure and discovery that changed our view of life, our planet and ourselves forever. “Of all the scientists in the world today, there is no one with whom Charles Darwin would rather spend an evening than Sean Carroll” Michael Ruse, author of The Evolution-Creation Struggle. For Making of the Fittest: “Dazzling... Carroll is passionate and magisterial. Nothing of more lasting importance is likely to be published this year” Guardian. “Smart and passionate” Daily Telegraph.
