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. Â 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. Â 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
