Pohozhdeniya vidov. Vampironogi, paukohvosty i drugie perekhodnye formy v evolyucii zhivotnyh
This book is about paleontology, the only science that can show who the ancestors of the various creatures that inhabit today's Earth were. Until quite recently, we did not even suspect that whales descended from artiodactyls, birds from dinosaurs, and beetles and spiders - of course, through many intermediate stages - from worms with a proboscis and claws on soft paws. Yes, molecular biology can explain who is related to whom and prove that birds are closer to crocodiles than turtles, and whales to hippos than bears. But what did these bird-crocodiles or whale-behemoths look like? All living things were constantly changing, all organisms were actually transitional forms and, it turns out, looked completely different than one might assume from studying the modern natural world. It is impossible to cover all these forms in one book, but we will try to talk about the most interesting ones.
