About This Book

The work surveys animal life worldwide, beginning with hypotheses on the origin of life and the broad role of the sea, then progresses through structural foundations and successive groups: sponges, corals, mollusks, arthropods and insects, fishes (including sharks and rays), amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Emphasis rests on lower orders and on classification that illustrates gradual evolutionary development from simple to complex forms, with discussions of ecology, adaptations, life histories, and human uses, supplemented by illustrative descriptions and cross-references to paleontology for historical context.
