Description
| Mysteries of Evolution Explained by the Latest Research Written by Darren *Naish and Paul *Barrett / Supervised by Kaiji Kobayashi, Katsuhiro Kubota, Kentaro Chiba, and Kohei Tanaka / Translated by Michiyoshi Yoshida For everyone who wants to know about the latest dinosaur research! Dinosaurs are amazing creatures that appeared on the earth. This creature, which has fascinated people since ancient times, reigned on earth for more than 150 million years, gaining absolute dominance through evolution in the face of extreme climatic conditions. This book unravels the mystery of the dinosaurs, presented in six chapters, from the Victorian era to the most advanced research of the 21st century. The history of dinosaur research, the origin of dinosaurs, their body structure, ecology, evolution, diversity, and how they survived the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period and came to exist as the birds they are today are all explained in all colors with abundant photographs and reconstructions. For everyone who wants to know the basics of dinosaurs.
