In Beasts Before Us, palaeontologist Elsa Panciroli charts the emergence of the mammal lineage, Synapsida, beginning at their murky split from the reptiles in the Carboniferous period, over three-hundred million years ago. They made the world theirs long before the rise of dinosaurs. Travelling forward into the Permian and then Triassic periods, we learn how our ancient mammal ancestors evolved from large hairy beasts with accelerating metabolisms to exploit miniaturisation, which was key to unlocking the traits that define mammals as we now know them"--provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.138 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.138 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.138 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.138 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 599.138 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
