This is an illustrated book by zoologist Tadaaki Imaizumi and his colleagues that presents the amazing story of the evolution of life. The book explains the 3.8 billion-year history of life through the amazing evolutionary process of familiar creatures.
The main highlight of the book is the visualization of creature evolution through "before and after" style illustrations. This allows the reader to intuitively understand the complex process of evolution. For example, the book vividly depicts the evolution of whales from land-living quadrupeds to marine mammals, and the transition of turtles without shells to their current form.
As a specific episode, the process by which birds evolved from dinosaurs is particularly interesting. The evolutionary path leading to modern birds is explained in detail, including how the discovery of feathered dinosaur fossils revealed the relationship between dinosaurs and birds, and the process of wing development. Through these examples, one can appreciate the grandeur of the history of life and the complexity of the mechanisms of evolution.
I was impressed by the amazing adaptability of life after reading this book. The organisms that have evolved to survive by changing their forms and functions in response to changes in the environment give us a true sense of the resilience of life and its ability to adapt to the environment. At the same time, I gained a deep insight into the origins of our current ecosystems and the importance of biodiversity.
Overall, this is a good book that conveys the grand drama of life evolution in an easy-to-understand and fascinating way.
