My First Book of Evolution - (My First Book of Science) by Eduard Altarriba & Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferrón (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

My First Book of Evolution uses fascinating bite-size facts, clear and simple explanations and attractive and absorbing illustrations to illuminate the mysteries of evolution.

When did life first appear on Earth? How did humans evolve? How did giraffe's necks get longer? Are humans now perfectly designed?

My First Book of Evolution answers these and many more questions about evolution and how it works in a fun and entertaining way.

Simple concepts such as what is a family tree, what is a species, what is a cell and more complex ideas of natural selection, adaptation, speciation and the inheritance of traits are explained clearly using imaginative and appealing charts, graphics and illustrations accompanied by simple, bite-size nuggets of explanatory text.

"With the authors familiar flair for science communication, comes a celebration of life on Earth and how this has adapted and evolved over time. Far from being an ode to dinosaurs (although of course they get a nod), this delves into the depths of biology. Expect to find cell anatomy, explanation of the process behind genetic inheritance and genetic mutation, as well as the consequences of these."--@mini.midnight.reads
