Animal Evolution: Genomes, Fossils, and Trees. By Maximilian J. Telford, D.T.J. LittlewoodAnimal Evolution: Genomes, Fossils, and Trees. By Maximilian J. Telford, D.T.J. LittlewoodBy Maximilian J. Telford, D.T.J. Littlewood

Animal life, now and over the past half billion years, is incredibly diverse. Describing and understanding the evolution of this diversity of body plans - from vertebrates such as humans and fish to the numerous invertebrate groups including sponges, insects, molluscs, and the many groups of worms - is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In this book, a group of leading researchers adopt a modern, integrated approach to describe how current molecular genetic techniques and disciplines as diverse as palaeontology, embryology, and genomics have been combined, resulting in a dramatic renaissance in the study of animal evolution.
