Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Are humans really fish? Why are we the only animals with chins? How much of our DNA do we share with the trillions of bacteria in our bodies? For centuries, scientists have chased the secrets of how life on our planet arose, how it assumed its dazzling diversity of forms, and how we humans are related to everything else on earth. With increasingly sophisticated genetic methods now bringing us ever closer to answers, leading evolutionary biologist Max Telford takes us inside one of science?s greatest quests. In the intellectually thrilling The Tree of Life, Telford shows how reconstructing the web of relationships between all our planet?s species, from birds and butterflies to mushrooms and moose, allows us to unravel the epic history of life on our planet. In Telford?s hands, the many-branched evolutionary trees that biologists assemble?from Charles Darwin?s first sketches to the vast computer-generated diagrams scientists are building today?become time machines that take us on a vivid journey through four billion years of life?s history. We meet long-lost ancestors, picturing them in the environment of a much younger earth, and discover where we first acquired our backbones and nipples and, conversely, where we lost our tails. We learn how insects are ?actually? crustaceans, and how dogs and wolves are more closely related to whales than to the recently extinct Tasmanian wolves they so resemble. Far from a dry representation of the dead, the tree of life is a living, shifting thing that constantly alters our perspective on the past, present, and future of life on earth. For any reader fascinated by evolution and natural history, The Tree of Life is an essential portal to the distant past and a window onto our collective origins.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una fascinante exploración del árbol genealógico de la vida que revela cómo todos los seres del planeta ?incluido tú? están conectados. ¿Por qué los humanos tenemos barbilla pero no cola? ¿Por qué el lobo gris está más emparentado con una ballena que con el lobo de Tasmania? ¿Qué huellas han dejado en nuestros genes las catástrofes medioambientales? El árbol de la vida es una exploración apasionante del mayor rompecabezas de la biología: cómo surgió y se diversificó la vida en nuestro planeta.

And this book, full of vivid and fascinating stories, takes you right inside: learn why grey wolves are more closely related to whales than to Tasmanian wolves; how geological change and environmental catastrophe left their marks on the genome; why we don't have tails but we are the only species with chins; and follow individual scientists down winding evolutionary byways and occasional dead ends in their attempts to solve this greatest of all puzzles.
