Product description
Review
"Dale Russell is one of the great creative thinkers of all time in palaeontology. This book - clearly the product of a full life considering these questions - does not disappoint." --David E. Fastovsky, author of Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs
Russell's real agenda is to argue that life becomes progressively fitter and more competitive...that Stephen Jay Gould and company would have us believe. This is an important debate in evolutionary biology and Russell does well to raise it for discussion. --Graham Lawton, New Scientist, 1st Aug 2009
