Editorial Reviews
Review
Michael S. Y. Lee
Nature
One of the most fascinating topics in biology....[Zimmer] clearly understands the diverse scientific issues involved, and cuts through the scientific jargon so anyone can comprehend them.
Philip Gingerich
The New York Times Book Review
Zimmer does a good job of explaining how profoundly different are the physiological and structural requirements of life in water compared to life on land.
Booklist
A fascinating story, which Zimmer unfolds as a tale of high-stakes scientific sleuthing...thanks to marvelously lucid writing.
Publishers Weekly
More than just an informative book about macroevolution itself, this is an entertaining history of ideas written with literary flair and technical rigor.
Ernst Mayr

Zimmer is a born storyteller and succeeds in giving us pure pleasure while at the same time teaching us up-to-date science.
