Written In Stone by Brian Switek
Evolution, the Fossil Record, and Our Place in Nature
A lively tour through the fossil record shows how paleontologists piece together life’s evolutionary history, from fish-to-tetrapod transitions and dinosaur–bird connections to the return of mammals to the sea and the branching path of human origins. Blending scientific discovery with the history of ideas, it dispels myths about “missing links,” explains how fossils are found and interpreted, and illustrates how new evidence continually reshapes our understanding of deep time.
