  • The Timetree of Life

    by S. Blair Hedges, Sudhir Kumar ...
    The evolutionary history of life includes two primary components: phylogeny and timescale. Phylogeny refers to the branching order (relationships) of species or other taxa within a group and is crucial for understanding the inheritance of traits and for erecting classifications. However, a timescale is equally important because it provides a way to compare phylogeny directly with the evolution of ... Read more

  • The Evolution Underground

    by Anthony J Martin ...
    Humans have "gone underground" for survival for thousands of years, from underground cities in Turkey to Cold War-era bunkers. But our burrowing roots go back to the very beginnings of animal life on Earth. Many animal lineages alive now—including our own—only survived a cataclysmic meteorite strike 65 million years ago because they went underground.On a grander scale, the chemistry of the planet ...

  • From Clone to Bone

    The Synergy of Morphological and Molecular Tools in Palaeobiology

    Edited by Robert J. Asher, Johannes Müller ...
    Series Book 4 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    Since the 1980s, a renewed understanding of molecular development has afforded an unprecedented level of knowledge of the mechanisms by which phenotype in animals and plants has evolved. In this volume, top scientists in these fields provide perspectives on how molecular data in biology help to elucidate key questions in estimating paleontological divergence and in understanding the mechanisms ...

  • Bones, Stones and Molecules

    "Out of Africa" and Human Origins

    by David W. Cameron, Colin P. Groves ...
    Bones, Stones and Molecules provides some of the best evidence for resolving the debate between the two hypotheses of human origins. The debate between the 'Out of Africa' model and the 'Multiregional' hypothesis is examined through the functional and developmental processes associated with the evolution of the human skull and face and focuses on the significance of the Australian record. The book ... Read more

  • Species and Speciation in the Fossil Record

    Edited by Warren D. Allmon, Margaret M. Yacobucci ...
    Although the species is one of the fundamental units of biological classification, there is remarkably little consensus among biologists about what defines a species, even within distinct sub-disciplines. The literature of paleobiology, in particular, is littered with qualifiers and cautions about applying the term to the fossil record or equating such species with those recognized among living ...

This book chronicles for the first time the complete evolutionary history of insects: their living diversity, relationships and 400 million years of fossils. Whereas other volumes have focused on either living species or fossils, this is the first ... Read more

  • Origins of Life: The Primal Self-Organization

    Edited by Armen Y. Mulkidjanian, Richard Egel, Dirk-Henner Lankenau ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    If theoretical physicists can seriously entertain canonical “standard models” even for the big-bang generation of the entire universe, why cannot life scientists reach a consensus on how life has emerged and settled on this planet? Scientists are hindered by conceptual gaps between bottom-up inferences (from early Earth geological conditions) and top-down extrapolations (from modern life forms to ... Read more

  • Carnivoran Evolution

    New Views on Phylogeny, Form and Function

    Edited by Anjali Goswami, Anthony Friscia ...
    Series Book 1 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    Members of the mammalian clade Carnivora have invaded nearly every continent and ocean, evolving into bamboo-eating pandas, clam-eating walruses and of course, flesh-eating sabre-toothed cats. With this ecological, morphological and taxonomic diversity and a fossil record spanning over sixty million years, Carnivora has proven to be a model clade for addressing questions of broad evolutionary ...
