Synopsis
Explore the scientific case for evolution through the rocks beneath our feet.
This edition presents Angelo Heilprin’s compelling view of how geology and paleontology support the idea that all living forms descended from ancient types. It explains key terms, describes the structure and history of life, and shows how fossil records reveal a steady progression toward more complex organisms over deep time.
Framed by careful diagrams and concrete fossil examples, the work traces how different animal groups transform over eras. It highlights the idea that evolution is not a single, straight line, but a branching process with long, varied histories. The book discusses what geologists look for when they search for “missing links” and how transitional forms fit into the larger timeline of life on Earth. It also surveys major periods from Cambrian to Post-Pliocene, illustrating how certain groups disappear, while others reappear in more modern forms.What you’ll experience
- Clear explanations of evolution’s core concepts as they relate to rocks, fossils, and the geologic timescale
- Case studies drawn from fishes, reptiles, mammals, and mollusks that show gradual change over long periods
- Discussions of how scientists use fossil sequences to test the idea of common descent
- Insight into how new species arise and how older forms relate to today’s fauna
Ideal for readers of scientific history and those seeking a grounded explanation of life’s history on Earth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uses the principles of geology and paleontology to build a strong case for evolutionary transformation of different types of organisms throughout history. The author presents evidence of distinct lifeforms at different levels of geological strata spanning hundreds of millions of years. The earliest forms of life have been found in the deepest layers, with more advanced and complex life forms found in successively younger strata, leading to the remarkably diverse species now living on earth. This evolutionary transformation is further evidenced in the transitional forms between species, the persistence of biological features in modern organisms which would have been essential for survival in their ancient ancestors, and the remarkable resemblance between the early stages of embryonic development in many different species. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
