Evolution: Pocket

Spectacular, mysterious, elegant or grotesque, the skeletons of the vertebrates that inhabit the Earth today bear the traces of billions of years of evolution. This book retraces the history of our era, a history whose memory has been preserved in bones…
Conceived by Xavier Barral and Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu, this book, co-published with the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, was produced in collaboration with the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Marseille, the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Toulouse, the Fragonard Museum and the École nationale Vétérinaire d’Alfort.
This revised and enlarged edition presents nearly two hundred different species, including about fifteen new specimens.
