This book moves through the defining evolutionary stepping stones starting with the evolutionary changes in prokaryotic, aquatic organisms over 4 billion years ago to the emergence of the modern human species in Earth's Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an overview of the processes of evolutionary fitness, the epicenter of the principles of evolutionary biology. Whether through natural or experimental occurrence, evolutionary fitness has been found to be the cardinal instance of evolutionary links in an organism between its ancestral and contemporary states. The book then goes on to detail evolutionary trails and lineages of groups of organisms including mammalians, reptilians, and various fish. The final section of the book provides a look back at the evolutionary journey of \"nonliving\" or extinct organisms, versus the modern-day transition to \"living\" or extant organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Evolutionary Biology of Extinct and Extant Organisms is the ideal resource for any researcher or advanced student in evolutionary studies, ranging from evolutionary biology to general life sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Subir Ranjan Kundu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128226552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128226551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Subir Ranjan Kundu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126910546175,"sku":"9780128226551","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a545c373-3e73-465c-994f-b668263bfe26.jpg?v=1687450824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-evolutionary-biology-of-extinct-subir-ranjan-kundu-9780128226551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
