Description:

Evolution is the process that created the terrible teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex and the complex human brain, clever enough to understand the workings of nature. Young readers will learn how a British naturalist named Charles Darwin studied nature and developed his now-famous concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest. And how modern-day science has added to our understanding of the theory of evolution.

Can something as complex and wondrous as the natural world be explained by a simple theory? The answer is yes, and now this book explains explains how in a way that makes it easy to understand for young readers.

Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be also answers some frequently asked questions:

What happened to the missing links that prove species evolved?
Have we ever actually seen a species evolve?
How could something as complicated as the human eye evolve through small steps?
How could a simple theory explain something as complex as the diversity of life around us?

Brought to life with amazing computer-generated images, illustrations and photographs, Evolution is an accessible introduction to a fundamental process of life on Earth.
