On our planet, life is everywhere. Wherever you look, there are animals, bacteria, fungi, and plants that seem to be in perfect harmony with their surroundings. But how is it possible that there is such an incredible variety of living things on Earth? Equally astonishingly, they all appear to be perfectly designed to live in their environment. My First Book of Evolution tells the story of how biological evolution has shaped life over time, and how this extraordinary biological diversity is descended from a common ancestor shared by absolutely every living organism that inhabits Earth. Will you join us on the fascinating journey through the history of life on our planet? Simple concepts such as what is a family tree, what is a species, what is a cell and more complex ideas of natural selection, adaptation, speciation and the inheritance of traits are explained clearly using imaginative and appealing charts, graphics and illustrations accompanied by simple, bite-size nuggets of explanatory text
