The Age of Mammals. From the Shadow of Dinosaurs to Global Domination

According to renowned paleontologist Steve Brusatte, mammals are the most charming and beloved creatures on the planet. Perhaps it's because many of them are cute and fluffy, but also partly because, essentially, we relate to them and see ourselves in them. Therefore, we are especially curious to know the details of how they all—and we—appeared on Earth, survived the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, and created their own world, transforming into remarkably diverse animals that still dominate the planet today. Based on the latest scientific discoveries, Steve Brusatte tells this astounding story of mammals, which began around 325 million years ago.
