From the lancelet and the sea-squirt, Haeckel traces the long climb toward humankind. This second volume follows our supposed line back through protist ancestors and the deep history of our stem, chapter by chapter. A bold continuation of one of evolution's grandest popular arguments. Follow the human pedigree back to its most primitive roots.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
