“Ever since Darwin shocked the world with his theories of evolution and natural selection, scientists and thinkers have continued to probe the mystery of life on earth. One of the most influential among them is Richard Fortey, leading paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, who spent decades travelling the world uncovering traces of prehistoric life for his compelling and critically acclaimed ‘unauthorised biography’ of the planet.
Life is a fascinating odyssey through the first 4 billion years of life on earth, from the Big Bang to the first humans. Fortey’s writing is infused with a deep sense of wonder, making the complex history of evolution accessible and thrilling. This edition is the only fully illustrated version available, bringing the story to life with a stunning collection of fossils and landscapes.”
