'Stretching from the distant past into the remote future, from primordial Earth to the stars, Evolution is a soaring symphony of struggle, extinction, and survival; a dazzling epic that combines a dozen scientific disciplines and a cast of unforgettable characters to convey the grand drama of evolution in all its awesome majesty and rigorous beauty. Sixty-five million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, there lived a small mammal, a proto-primate of the species Purgatorius. From this humble beginning, Baxter traces the human lineage forward through time. The adventure that unfolds is a gripping odyssey governed by chance and competition, a perilous journey to an uncertain destination along a route beset by sudden and catastrophic upheavals. It is a route that ends, for most species, in stagnation or extinction. Why should humanity escape this fate?' 578 pages. 6.4 x 9.5 inches.

Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed by Baxter. "Baxter's finest later singleton may be EVOLUTION (2002), a pure scientific romance traversal of the story of evolution on Earth, from the deep past and the passing of the dinosaurs through humanity's brief ascendancy down to a future of devolution not dissimilar to (but more closely argued than) that depicted by Wells in THE TIME MACHINE (1895); as in the scientific romance form at its most intense, dozens of exemplary characters are viewed with chastening objectivity, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water." - John Clute, SFE (online).
