This book follows the earliest life forms along their evolutionary path to the current creatures that exist — including us humans.
“All of us are part of an old, old family. The roots of our family tree reach back millions of years to the beginning of life on earth. Open this family album and embark on an amazing journey. You’ll meet some of our oldest relatives—from both the land and the sea—and discover what we inherited from each of them along the many steps of our wondrous past.”
The book colourfully shows the development of life and our connectedness to all living things.
This book communicates science well and, while it doesn’t bring the science into dialogue with religious faith, it builds a solid scientific understanding which can inform, and encourage, science-faith questions.
