Telford, Maximilian J.2025
Book
Why are we the only species with chins? Where did our spines come from? Why don't we have wings? We know we are descended from apes, in this book, Max Telford shows us how we are related to every living thing. Science's greatest puzzle is where did we come from and how did we get here. This book shows how telling this story depends on understanding the gigantic family tree - the Tree of Life - that records the relationships between all species of life on earth - from humans, fish and butterflies to oak trees, mushrooms and bacteria.
