Abstract
This book tackles a big question: how do genetic changes explain the diversity of animal form? To answer it, the authors draw together the disciplines of molecular genetics, genomics, phylogeny, palaeobiology and developmental biology to shed light on the molecular and developmental mechanisms that underlie evolutionary change. Despite this polymathic approach, the book is small enough to maintain a coherent story throughout (and to take on the train or read in the bath). It is aimed primarily at undergraduates or the nonspecialist, but will be enjoyed equally well by a more specialised audience; as developmental biologists with a strong interest in evolution, we found it both an enjoyable and informative read.
