Aimed at scientists, historians and writers, PARALLEL DEVELOPMENTS is a unique reference of Earth’s history covering the period from the Big Bang to 3000BC, providing quick answers to questions such as: “What was the status of human development in Europe when the glaciers were retreating during the last Ice Age?”
While there are many excellent books available on the development of plants and animals, this book traces the simultaneous appearances of continents, atmospheres, mountains and oceans as well as life forms – from the earliest bacteria and fungi through plants, animals and humans – allowing the cross-reference of activities for any specific time period.
