The Tree of Life
Guillaume Lecointre
Hervé Le Guyader
Illustrated by Dominique Visset
Translated by Karen McCoy
Did you know that you are more closely related to a mushroom than to a daisy? That dinosaurs are still among us? That the terms "fish" and "invertebrates" do not indicate scientific groupings? All this is the result of major changes in classification, whose methods have been totally revisited over the last thirty years. This book diagrams the tree of life according to the most recent methods of classification.
