Explores prehistoric life during the Pleistocene and Holocene geologic epochs, during which times the earliest species of human beings formed the groundwork of human language and culture.
Discusses the geologic and climate shifts of the Cretaceous period that allowed for the evolution of various creatures, including the lizard-hipped Saurischian and bird-hipped Ornithischian dinosaurs, and non-dinosaurian reptiles of the Mesozoic, before their eventual extinction.
Discusses the diverse mammal population from the Oligocene and Miocene epochs, covering extinct marsupials of Australiaand North and South America, and Extinct Eutherian Mammals, with an examination of how mammals and birds gradually dominated the planet and evolved into modern forms.
Explores prehistoric life during the Pliocene geologic epoch, during which time the primates divided into groups of monkeys and apes, which lead to the hominins, ancestors of humans.
Illustrations and text introduce children to the best-known dinosaurs of the middle and late Jurassic Epochs, examining their physical characteristics, behavior, impact on the planet, and other related topics.
