HTML:The history of life on Earth is, in some form or another, known to us all—or so we think. <i>A New History of Life</i> offers a provocative new account, based on the latest scientific research, of how life on our planet evolved—the first major new synthesis for general readers in two decades.<br /> <br /> Charles Darwin's theories, first published more than 150 years ago, form the backbone of how we understand the history of the Earth. In reality, the currently accepted history of life on Earth is so flawed, so out of date, that it's past time we need a 'New History of Life.'<br /> <br /> In their latest book, Joe Kirschvink and Peter Ward will show that many of our most cherished beliefs about the evolution of life are wrong. Gathering and analyzing years of discoveries and research not yet widely known to the public, <i>A New History of Life</i> proposes a different origin of species than the one Darwin proposed, one which includes eight-foot-long centipedes, a frozen "snowball Earth", and the seeds for life originating on Mars.<br /> <br /> Drawing on their years of experience in paleontology, biology, chemistry, and astrobiology, experts Ward and Kirschvink paint a picture of the origins life on Earth that are at once too fabulous to imagine and too familiar to dismiss—and looking forward, <i>A New History of Life</i> brilliantly assembles insights from some of the latest scientific research to understand how life on Earth can and might evolve far into the future.
