Summary
Reveals how, over time, new life-forms evolved from earlier ones, and after several billion years, added up to diversity as well as extinctions. This album pairs photographed fossils and speculative but realistically detailed portraits of hundreds of creatures--nearly all extinct--with descriptive captions and short passages of text that draw connections between them and modern animals
