Before the Dinosaurs

The first in a series of 5 books, this book tells the history of life on Earth from the planet's formation 4,550 million years ago until the end of the Paleozoic Era 252 million years ago.

In this beautiful full-color illustrated book, you will learn about:

How life began in the seas as simple single-celled organisms
How single-celled organisms grew more complex and changed the planet
The sudden appearance of many multicellular life forms during the Cambrian explosion
How life colonized the land
The evolution of the first tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) from fish
How tetrapods diversified to produce reptiles and our ancestors, the synapsid mammal-like reptiles
The greatest mass extinction in history that brought the Paleozoic Era to a close
And much more
