Infinite life : the revolutionary story of eggs, evolution and life on earth / by Howard, Julesauthor(CARDINAL)617491;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Dust from Dust -- The Garden of Mortality -- The Early Womb -- Starbursts on Shores -- Interlude: A post-Ordovician Moment -- A Tale of Two Fishes -- A Most Marvellous Invention -- The Larval Storm -- Interlude: A post-Permian moment -- The Triassic Takeover -- Navel-gazing -- The Art in the Isthmus -- Interlude: A post-Cretaceous moment -- The Invasive Placenta -- Epilogue: a Future for Eggs.Every egg there has ever been, is an emblem of survival. Yet the evolution of the animal egg is the dramatic subplot missing in many accounts of how life on Earth came to be. Quite simply, without this universal biological phenomenon, animals as we know them, including us, could not have evolved and flourished. In Infinite Life, zoology correspondent Jules Howard takes the reader on a mind-bending journey from the churning coastlines of the Cambrian Period and Carboniferous coal forests, where insects were stirring, to the end of the age of dinosaurs when live-birthing mammals began their modern rise to power. Eggs would evolve from out of the sea; be set by animals into soils, sands, canyons and mudflats; be dropped in nests wrapped in silk; hung in stick nests in trees, covered in crystallised shells or secured by placentas. Whether belonging to birds, insects, mammals or millipedes, animal eggs are objects that have been shaped by their ecology, forged by mass extinctions and honed by natural selection to near-perfection. Finally, the epic story of their role in the story of life can be told.
