In this sublime mosaic of photographs and text, evolutionary biologist Jean-Baptiste do Panafieu and photographer Patrick Gries explore the skeletal record, showing through words and images the defining mechanics of all living vertebrates, including human beings. Spectacular, mysterious, elegant, or grotesque, the vertebrate skeletons of Earth's  fossil record carry within them the traces of several billion years of evolution. Evolution is a unique and beautiful attempt to provide a map of those billion years in time. Here is a powerful pairing: more than two hundred stark black and white photographs by Gries, produced in collaboration with the Museum of Natural History in Paris, are accompanied by text from scientist and documentarian de Panafieu. The result is a revealing collection teat profoundly illustrates the key themes of evolution - homology, convergence, adaptation, polymorphism, and more.
