Inhaltsangabe
In Deep Time, Henry Gee, assistant editor of Nature, shows us that everything we think we know about evolution is wrong.
For a long time, popular scientists have told us that by looking at a fossilised bone we could tell whether it belonged to our ancestors or not. This is not true.
In Deep Time, Henry Gee, introduces for the first time in the popular science market a new way of thinking that has revolutionised the way that scientists are approaching the past – Cladistics. Cladistics ignores story-telling and authority and proposes a method based on shared characteristics, rather than ancestry and descent. As a result of using this new method Henry Gee is able to show us the wealth of new ideas that is radically altering our notions of the past: Dinosaurs with feathers; why fish developed fingers; what it means to be human.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
Popular Scientists have long told us that by looking at a fossilised bone we can tell whether it belongs to our ancestors. This is not possible. Fossils cannot answer scientific questions of ascent and descent. Scientists in the field are now using a new method, cladistics, to understand the fossil record.
In Deep Time, Henry Gee, using cladistics, shows us how everything we thought we knew about evolution is wrong and reveals new truths about why fish evolved fingers, how dinosaurs eveolved feathers long before they became birds and why, in the age-old debate, the egg came before the chicken.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 'Deep Time', Henry Gee, editor asistente de 'Nature', nos muestra que todo lo que creemos saber sobre la evolución es erróneo. También revela la prueba científica de qué fue primero: el pollo o el huevo. Fue el huevo. Durante mucho tiempo, los científicos populares nos han dicho que al observar un hueso fosilizado podemos saber si perteneció o no a nuestros antepasados. Esto no es cierto. En 'Deep Time', Henry Gee, presenta por primera vez en el mercado de la ciencia popular una nueva forma de pensar que ha revolucionado la forma en que los científicos se acercan al pasado: la cladística. La cladística ignora la narración de cuentos y la autoridad y propone un método basado en características compartidas, en lugar de ascendencia y descendencia. Como resultado del uso de este nuevo método, Henry Gee puede mostrarnos la riqueza de nuevas ideas que está alterando radicalmente nuestras nociones de los dinosaurios con plumas; por qué los peces desarrollaron dedos; lo que significa ser humano.
