Description

Whales have captivated human imagination for thousands of years, yet we know surprisingly little about these majestic creatures. From their evolution from land-roaming ancestors to their modern-day migrations across entire ocean basins, whales remain an enigma. Palaeontologist Nick Pyenson takes readers on a journey to uncover the secrets of whale evolution, delving into the Smithsonian's fossil collection and exploring the icy waters of Antarctica and the arid deserts of Chile. With rich storytelling and meticulous research, Pyenson sheds light on the lives of these incredible animals, revealing the latest discoveries in whale science. This book offers an illuminating account of scientific discovery, bringing readers closer to one of the most fascinating groups of animals on the planet.
