Relics - Travels in Nature's Time

Zusammenfassung Horseshoe crabs are far from the only contemporary manifestation of Earth's distant past. This book leads readers on a journey through those lingering traces of a lost world. It begins by defining the concept of a relic - a creature or habitat that, while acted upon by evolution, remains similar to its earliest manifestations in the fossil record.
