Evolving Animals
The Story of Our Kingdom
What do we know about animal evolution in the early twenty-first
century? How much more do we know today than Darwin did?
What are the most exciting discoveries that have been made in the
last few decades?
Covering all the main animal groups, from jellyfish to verte¬
brates, this book considers all of these questions and more. Its
Ю
short chapters, each written in a conversational,
non-
technical
style and accompanied by numerous original illustrations, deal
equally with the pattern and the process of evolution
—
with both
evolutionary trees and evolutionary mechanisms. They cover
diverse evolutionary themes, including: the animal toolkit;
natural selection,- embryos and larvae; animal consciousness;
fossils; human evolution; and even the possibility of animal life
existing elsewhere than on Earth. This unique text will make an
excellent introduction for undergraduates and others with an
interest in the subject.
Wallace Arthur is Emeritus Professor of Zoology at the
National University of Ireland, Galway. He is one of the founders
of the interdisciplinary field of evolutionary developmental
biology (evo-devo), and has a special interest in explaining
scientific concepts in plain,
non-
technical language. He is the
author of nine previous books, including Biased Embryos and
Evolution (Cambridge,
2004)
and The Origin of Animal Body Plans
(Cambridge,
1997).
