Telling the Evolutionary Time: Molecular Clocks and the Fossil Record
ISBN: 9780415275248 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Understanding the timing of major evolutionary events is important, not only in itself, but critical also to our understanding of the tempo and implied mechanism of evolutionary change. A literal reading of the fossil record suggests that many of the major groups of complex organisms arose in an extremely short interval of time, around half a billion years ago. This has led to the suggestion that special mechanisms of evolutionary change must have operated at this time. However, mathematical models for evolutionary change at the level of base-substitution suggest that these evolutionary...

The Past in Prehistoric Societies
ISBN: 9780415276276 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea of prehistory dates from the 19th century and sometimes seems to be a relic of the colonial era, but Richard Bradley contends that it is still a vital area for research. His claim is based on the argument that it is only through a combination of oral tradition and the experience of encountering ancient material culture that people were able to formulate a sense of their own pasts without written records. In effect, they were forced to become archaeologists themselves. The Past in Prehistoric Societies applies this argument to the archaeology of Europe, presenting a series of case...

Hominid Individual in Context: Archaeological Investigations of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Landscapes, Locales and Artefacts
ISBN: 9780415284332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores new approaches to the remarkably detailed information that archaeologists now have for the study of our early ancestors.

This challenge to the accepted standpoint of the Palaeolithic brings new models and theories into the period; innovations that are matched by the resolution of data preserving individual action among the stones and bones. The volume brings together examples from recent excavations such as...

Moving away from his earlier belief in a short, catastrophic history of the Earth, Buckland's treatise envisages instead and propounds the theory of a course of progressive change that occurred as the Earth gradually cooled and became ready for human occupation. During this time, the creatures that first walked the Earth did not die out because they were poorly designed; God loved the dinosaurs and had adapted them to their various circumstances.
