The wonderful and detailed illustrations of the book - from the first microbes that appeared in the sea, and the terrifying dinosaurs that once dominated our planet, to our ancient ancestors - are based on the results of the latest research and are enriched with hundreds of photographs of fossils.

The groundbreaking visual material is complemented by thorough commentary, making this book a unique reference work for the entire family, with a complete list of the hundreds of presented species, information on the theory of evolution, and details about the locations where all the significant fossil finds are currently located.
