Wagner, Yale University "With feet firmly planted in the fossil record, paleontologist Marcelo Sanchez asks what can be learned about the development of fossils, and development in general, from the paleontological record. This wide-ranging book is ideal for those curious about fossils, evolution, and development." Charles R. Marshall, University of California Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. T1-A first edition (complete numberline) hardcover book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, lightly bowed, some light discoloration and shelf wear with no dust jacket. 8.5"x5.75", 256 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. How can we bring together the study of genes, embryos and fossils? Can fossil embryos demonstrate evolutionary changes in reproductive modes? How have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the development of marine organisms? What can the microstructure of fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity and changes in growth phases? Embryos in Deep Time is a critical synthesis and review of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology, and developmental genetics that addresses these and similar questions. This book illustrates how fossils provide evidence not only of adult anatomy but also of the life history of individuals at different growth stages. A central topic of Biology-the transformations occurring during the life of an organism and the mechanisms behind them-is addressed in an integrative and comparative manner, revealing that fossils offer unique insights into core ideas of evolution and development.
