Description
The Rise and Reign of the Mammals A New History from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us by Steve Brusatte. Mammals have been on our planet for over 200 million years, with roots dating back even further. This rich evolutionary history has shaped their distinctive features, such as hair, keen senses, big brains, and warm-blooded metabolism. From these traits emerged the diverse range of mammals we see today, including our own species. The story of mammals is one of survival and adaptation, with many species thriving in different environments. However, this success came at a cost, with mass extinctions and time having pruned the family tree to leave us with just 6,000 surviving species. In this book, palaeontologist Steve Brusatte weaves together the history of mammals with stories of the scientists who have uncovered their secrets, revealing a fascinating and often overlooked world.
