Some Assembly Required: Decoding Four Billion Years of Life, from Ancient Fossils to DNA - Hardcover
Synopsis
‘Intimate and thoughtful… Exciting… [A] sweeping evolutionary history.’ Science
The author of the bestselling Your Inner Fish gives us a brilliant, up-to-date account of the great transformations in the history of life on Earth.
This is a story full of surprises. If you think that feathers arose to help animals fly, or lungs to help them walk on land, you’d be in good company. You’d also be entirely wrong.
Neil Shubin delves deep into the mystery of life, the ongoing revolutions in our understanding of how we got here, and brings us closer to answering one of the great questions – was life on earth inevitable…or was it all an accident?
