The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us
Description
From the age of the dinosaurs to the modern world, this sweeping natural history traces how mammals evolved from small, shadow-dwelling creatures into the astonishingly diverse animals that dominate—or shape—so many ecosystems today. Drawing on the latest fossil discoveries and scientific research, it explores the key adaptations, evolutionary turning points, and mass extinctions that transformed mammalian life across millions of years. The story culminates in the rise of humans, examining both our place within mammalian history and the profound influence we now have on the planet. Accessible, vivid, and rich with scientific insight, the book offers a compelling new perspective on evolution, survival, and the deep history of life.
