Written by regular Skeptic contributor Donald Prothero, this is an entertaining and rigorous history of the transitional forms and series found in the fossil record.

Its engaging narrative of scientific discovery and well-grounded analysis has led to the book's widespread adoption in courses that teach the nature and value of fossil evidence.

The book features extensive coverage of...

  • flood geology
  • rock dating
  • neo-Darwinism
  • macroevolution
  • the primordial soup
  • invertebrate transitions
  • the development of the backbone
  • the reign of the dinosaurs
  • ...and more!

Prothero details the many "missing links," including some of the most recent discoveries, that flesh out the fossil timeline and the evolutionary process.

The discussion of intelligent-design arguments includes more historical examples and careful examination of the "experiments" and observations that are exploited by creationists seeking to undermine sound science education.
