A new definition of macroevolution is created. Preadaptation is shown to be a null concept and its comparison with exaptation is shown to be inappropriate. This book criticizes the prevailing view, the adaptationist, microevolutionary outlook, which considers adaptation as being the exclusive or main evolutionary process responsible for vertebrates having occupied the terrestrial environment. The authors argue that the macroevolutionary processes are significantly more important to explain an improbable evolutionary event. Their research shows that macroevolutionary processes are the dominant factors involved in the origin of terrestriality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is a revised and expanded English translation from the original Portuguese edition \u003ci\u003ePeixes conquistam a terra firme: nova abordagem para um evento acidental único\u003c\/i\u003e (Editora Baraúna, 2017).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mauro Luís Triques,Martin Lindsey Christoffersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004684751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004684751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2024","brand":"Mauro Luís Triques","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446522917119,"sku":"9789004684751","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_828cc6e6-cf7f-470c-b57c-7b7ed7d685c7.jpg?v=1777225204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-new-paradigm-for-the-mauro-luzs-triques-9789004684751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
