More than 99 percent of all life forms have gone extinct during the
3.6-billion-year history of life on Earth. Other organisms have
changed dramatically, but not our extreme survivors. Evolution may
have altered their physiology and behavior, but their body plans
have stood the test of time. How have these living links with
Earth's prehistoric past survived? The search for answers is
leading scientists to new discoveries about the past-and future-of
life on Earth. The survival secrets of some of these ancient
creatures could lead to new medicines and treatments for disease.
Written in a lively, entertaining voice, Extreme Survivors provides
detailed life histories and strange "survival secrets" of ten
ancient animals and explains evolution and natural selection.
Extensive back matter includes glossary, additional facts and
geographic range for each organism and a geologic timeline of
Earth. F&P Level V
