From back of container: Our planet has millions of species, including thousands of mammals, fish, birds and reptile, and even more butterflies, beetles, and other animals, each adapted to one of an enormous variety of habitats. The Richness and diversity of Life raises two of the most profound questions in biology: How do new species form? And why are there so many species? The Origin of the Species series tells the stories of the intrepid naturalists who traveled the world, from the famed Galapagos islands to the Malay Archipelago, in search of evidence and answers. |
