This book give an overview of Mammals evolution, starting from the paleocene. I found it very interesting and it was the starting point for my interest in paleontology. ( ) This book takes a look at what was going on with mammal evolution, and to a lesser degree climate, in Europe during the Cenozoic Age. There are numerous black & white sketches and a collection of colour plates. The writing is rather technical with an empahsis on fossil teeth and the differences in teeth between the various species/families of mammals. The run-on paragraphs about a vast quantity of mammals with names in italics (can't be helped since these animals don't have common names) also makes things somewhat tedious. The lack of maps does not help much either. In short, an interesting, but technical, overview of what was going on in Europe during the Age of Mammals, but something that would probably appeal more to a paleontologist or a dentist with an interest in prehistoric mammals. If you want a more comprehensive and world-wide overview of the Age of Mammals, try reading "End of the Megafauna: The Fate of the World's Hugest, Fiercest, and Strangest Animals by Ross D.E.

It is also a journey through space, following the migrations of mammal species that evolved on other continents and eventually met to compete or coexist in Cenozoic Europe. Finally, it is a journey through the complexity of mammalian evolution Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
