A brilliant, grandscale sampling of sixty-five million years of human evolution . . . It shows the sweep and grandeur of life in its unrelenting course. -The Denver PostStretching from the distant past into the remote future, from primordial Earth to the stars, Evolution is a soaring symphony of struggle, extinction, and survival; a dazzling epic that combines a dozen scientific disciplines and a cast of unforgettable characters to convey the grand drama of evolution in all its awesome majesty and rigorous beauty. Sixty-five million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, there lived a small mammal, a proto-primate of the species Purgatorius. From this humble beginning, Baxter traces the human lineage forward through time. The adventure that unfolds is a gripping odyssey governed by chance and competition, a perilous journey to an uncertain destination along a route beset by sudden and catastrophic upheavals. It is a route that ends, for most species, in stagnation or extinction. Why should humanity escape this fate?Praise for EvolutionSpectacular.-The New York Times Book ReviewStrong imagination, a capacity for awe, and the ability to think rigorously about vast and final things abound in the work of Stephen Baxter. . . . [Evolution] leaves the reader with a haunting portrayal of the distant future.-Times Literary SupplementA breath of fresh air . . . The miracle of Evolution is that it makes the triumph of life, which is its story, sound like the real story.-The Washington Post Book World\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738775257376,"sku":"NEW0345457838","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/719TqaxeGXL.jpg?v=1779612300","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/evolution-0345457838","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
