How did life on Earth begin? Why did the dinosaurs die out? How did the first people live? These and hundreds of other questions are answered in this lavishly illustrated book which brings the prehistoric world vividly to life. This book is a fascinating introduction to the early history of our planet, beginning with the birth of the Earth and ending with the discovery of farming. Using new information from fossil finds, it traces the story of life from the first living thing, through plants, fish and reptiles, to birds and mammals, and finally to the first people. Each stage of prehistoric life is illustrated with stunning reconstructions, and all of the scientific concepts covered are explained in clear, simple language. Colourful maps show the changing shape of continents and the movement of people around the world, and the illustrated timeline makes it easy to see where and when things happened in the period up to 10,000 BC.
